My Little Sunflower
By Carly Wenninger
You said I was your flower.
My hair was gold as a sunflower
You would braid it all pretty, take care of me
As I grew old, you forgot to water me
But I just reminded you over and over again
Then, you got a new flower
A rose, red hair in braids.
As my hair grew darker and darker,
You forgot to water me more and more
You took me away from my sun
You stopped watering me.
Now I’m a shriveled up sunflower
When you try and braid my hair
I break.
