Surprise Greeting
Standing tall behind
A concrete barrier
Not the place
I would expect to see you-
Your face turns left, then right
Back and forth with the breeze
While your palms wave
A friendly hello-
Your sudden appearance
Brings to mind a puppet
Popping up from behind
A carefully constructed stage-
A giggling child, your audience-
But you are no puppet
And I am not a child-
You are a happy little Sunflower
Not standing in a field, amongst
A family of sunflowers-
You are a happy little Sunflower
Smiling and waving, standing tall
Behind a concrete barrier
And I, a searcher, thankful
For your glimmer of hope
Piano Girl 
Very nice…..I love them, they do inspire hope and joy.

Thank you!! I read to Normait was fun to see her try to guess. What a fun, silly yet meaningful memory-and yes they do wave and are friendly. ??
Kind regards, Susan

Along with your delightful poetry, beautiful, heartfelt imagery and gentle phrasing, what I love about your voice is how I always know it’s yours. I can hear you, see you, feel you smiling as you read the words — such a gift!
