The images from Ukraine are heart-breaking. I will continue to send hope.
Sunflower
The thunderstorm sends flashes of fire
Icy, cold stones of hail…
A sunflower seed cracks open it’s shell
Pushes, pushes, through fire and ice
It’s first sign of life forth
Toward the promised morn…
Soon, soon, from Kyiv to Mariupol
From Lviv to Odesa
A thousand sunflowers
Burst into the new morn.
