Sunflower gold

Sunflower gold

I am being told

is calling me

to come and see

travel the field

and look around

and there will be

your true self found.

Oh could it be

the real true me

waiting long

and now I’m strong

with the tall stem

I always wanted

growing here

growing there.

And I can say

and I can know

that growing fast

or growing slow

whichever speed I come to be

I am grateful now

that I ‘ve found me.

Then where was I

all these years

was I growing in all my tears

from a little seed,

to a golden skirt,

long green legs

and big brown eyes

I am looking out

through the skies

and in the misty blue I saw

I could be taller,

I could be more.

But then a bee

sat with me

and said look hear

you know inside

that you are golden

and you are tall

and across the field

you can explore.

Just open up your golden heart

and see the seed is where to start

and you are real

and you are strong

and now you know

you do belong

to the wide world of love and grace

you are whole so live this space

live your life

enjoy the sun

spreading rays of play

just have fun

and share your life with everyone.

Oh really is that the word

express myself

I can be heard.

I am a flower

with a golden crown

and the strongest roots

spreading far

so up above I reach the stars.

So now I know

who I am

and what I know

becomes my plan.

Be the goldest colour I can be

many petals for all to see,

I radiate sunshine

and I love me and you,

and God

and life in the green

standing tall and being seen.

I love the sun

I need the rain

and I am ready

to begin again

to start my life

strong and tall

and love to smile

and sing along

sing my song

I do belong.

If I were a sunflower

golden and true

that is my song

I would sing to you

singing soft and singing free

golden in my heart is me.
