A sunflower from my mum
“Keep your face to the sunshine
and you cannot see the shadow.
It’s what sunflowers do.”

What a lovely sunflower! Makes me smile
I’m so glad. I love sunflowers too – they are my fav!
Just read this lovely poem and thought of sharing it with you and your bloggers:
Sunny Sunflower Disposition
For when the sun itself just isn’t enough to brighten the day.
As I’m looking straight at the piercing sky, I can feel your presence,
And I hold out my hands at the warm sunlight of that sunflower of
happiness-looking sun.
I was born here to meet you,
Even without saying anything, just being able to be by your side is enough.
I’m your flower, I want to shine for you, just gaze at me,
I want to shine with the strength of the mid-summer flower,
You’re my sunshine, you’re my every happiness, is this destiny ?
I love you, who’s like a dazzling sun !
— Hikari Hinomoto
Oh my god, this is so beautifully written! I love it – thank you so much.
For those of you who haven’t yet enjoyed these Leona Lewis’s lyrics, please enjoy them. I just enjoyed them so much:
Let the Sunshine Lyrics
by Leona Lewis
I feel a cold flush going through my hair
And hey you know what
I don’t even care
The time has passed me by
It’s gone with the wind
Because the sun shined once again
Now the party’s on
Everybody’s there
And if you don’t know anyone
You’ll still meet some friends
That’s the way it is
When I have myself a drink
Because the sun shines once again
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine for me
Let it all go
Let it all go for me
So turn the lights off
No one is afraid
When the night comes
It’ll be just like the day
And without the day
I am glowing from within
Because the sun shined once again
So play that sweet tune
Play it through the air
And the volume
Blaze it up again
Don’t you ask me twice
You know I’m gonna bid
Because the sun shines once again
Let the sun shine
I know that the world is gonna smile again
When we go from the darkness into the light
