All flowers are happy in their way,
But dear Helianthus you win the day.
Every aspect of your nature is sunny.
Even your face tracks its eponym across the sky.

The older I grow the more I care.

Empathy has a bittersweet twinge.

I know part of your pain because I’ve been singed.

I walked a mile with Pleasure; She chatted all the way; But left me none the wiser For all she had to say.

My Eulogy
