Sunflower

A beautiful bright yellow flower,

I always wanted to be.

Because my thoughts could really maunder,

to anything possible, literally.

Heartbroken as a child,

I learnt the art of giving.

And knowing that the world was not mild,

eventually I started forgiving.

I was always asked to

learn to say No!

From my father, sister and my best friend too,

but that "yes, sure", I seriously couldn't let go.

Hence, I started to call it,

"I want to try everything".

All the flavors of life became lit,

as I started to savour the swing.

Eventually I realized, it was 

not a bad choice at all.

Because the flowers in my life's vase,

had a sunflower standing tall.
