I Love Sunflowers




It's sunflower season, and I love sunflowers.




I love the magic encased in their spiky packages,




and how their petals unfurl...




and turn toward the sun, catching its fire.




I love the way the little stars of pollen appear and multiply...




sprinkling out stardust like parmesan cheese on a pizza.




I love the way they adorn an evening table...




the gentle curve of their leaves...




the graceful arch of their stems and the stiff white hairs that cover them.


I love sunflowers, but more than that, so much more,

I love the One who made them,

who also made the stars,

I Love Sunflowers




I love sunflowers.





I love the magic encased in their spiky packages,





and how their petals unfurl and turn their faces toward the sun,

catching its fire.





I love the way the little stars of pollen appear





and multiply, 

attracting pollinators,





before sprinkling out like parmesan cheese on a pizza.





I love the texture of their leaves

and the graceful arch of their stems and the stiff white hairs that cover them.



And I am awe of the One who made them,

who also made the stars,
