The Best I Can Be.

There is this spot in the front yard where this big giant Sun Flower grows.
When I was little, my mom would call me her little ray of sunshine or her sunflower. I would always find the good in everything. i try to look back and find that little girl, hoping she is still there with me. but she seems to have disappeared in everything that I have become and turned into now.

My mom doesn't like having random Sun Flower stalk growing in our yard, so we have to pull it out. But it always seems to come back, it comes back bigger and stronger and even more beautiful.

I love that sunflower plant. It's my favorite flower. I love how it is just like me in so many ways. i love the color yellow because it is such a happy color. I love being happy and free to follow everyone close to me, like the sunflower follows the sun each day. It's like a satellite for sunshine.

The sunflower is always looking to the sky. I have always been interested in the sky...If you can get high enough, you can see the curve of the earth...That alignment of the earth and the universe, it makes you think what else is out there. It's as if the sunflowers know what else is out there.

The sunflower to me, seems like it's trying so hard to be like the sun, it looks up to it so much, it respects it. That's why it looks at it every second of the day. And the sun is like the best of everything...Like the sun and the sunflower, i want to be the best i can be.
