Sunflower Girl
Children are things of transitory thought,
but in that elementary cafeteria I knew
that leave you I ought not.
With eyes like a robin's egg encased in crystal
and sunflower hair that no words may construe,
your beauty would leave Helen of Troy tristful.
Over a decade we've been in tandem,
bearing each other aloft from the burdonsome blue;
to these struggles I write this memorandum:
To you my heart will always belong,
even as your love for him grew,
and by your side I will stand strong.
I will stand strong for you.
