Sunflower

by Jay Yonan

When the sun settles down
And dusk rolls in
I find myself smiling
My light still shining

Her round face full of joy
And spilling out onto mine
Echos compassion and care
For which my ice does pine

The dusk settles deep within me
Yet her light seeps through
Turning my sorrows sweet
New emotions to keep

Please stay awhile
Sweet sunflower child
I long your warm embrace 
And the radiance of your face
