Analysis of sunflower seeds
The sunflower seeds, a simple work of art
That make the earth a patchwork of delight
In beds of brown and red they play their part
And catch the sun's bright beams of yellow light
They form a quilt of colors and of shapes
That spreads across the landscapes with its grace
And where the rivers run and breezes sweep
They lend their charm and beauty to the place
But oh! the sun that gives them life and strength
Is also their undoing and their woe
For when it burns too hot or hides at length
It makes them wilt and wither, lose their glow.
And yet they face the sun with hope each day.
And sing their songs of joy and love and faith.
