The healing, the sunflowers..

Please listen to the video. My first poem for May. I hope everyone is enjoying the days of Spring.

The healing, the sunflowers..

My grandfather loved his garden. Now I became like my grandfather.

He loved the roses, the wildflowers and the days of Spring, the days of rebirth.

He told me often. We are all gardeners. I raised four children and

they are strong and so beautiful.

Now I plant the sunflowers seeds and I care for my roses.

My garden are my children too.

He told me on a warm late May day. If life is heavy.

Come to my home and we will solve any problem, you have.

He loved the sunflowers, the 12 foot plants reaching for the sun.

He told me often. The family is our garden. We must care for, be the safe place to come to.

Now I am the grandfather and I tried to be like my grandfather.

I take care of my many rose bushes and I plant the sunflowers in my yard.

My children know. I am the safe place. I will stand with them in the good or bad days.

My grandfather, my grandmother taught me. Our family is our wealth.

Hi coy,

A very beautiful lines which the current leaders must listen to this video, so atleast world get together as a single family, vasudhaiva kutumbam.
I am seeing in your depth thought process what you are based.
For few the real intent is understood that is only few who will be out saviors, else few poked into 🌻 sunflower you will not be lifting up when sun goes to west. How much we try to help people it's a waste effort and nothing benefits but only say no that is wrong I will show you peace, takes them to bar and pat...
But I don't want to dishearten you how tried to find this video, what is your browsing history, keep doing good, definitely it helps one single ant, then efforts are fruitful don't bother about 100 misleading thoughts in the above video who lived wrongly misinterpret finding faults because the person in video is not Brahmin because he eats meat, pork beef....
How he could become so knowledgeable, because indians are gods, others outside India are demons ...

Thank you for your concern and effort..

Jessy Jacob.

Hello dear Jessy. I hope our leaders of our world learn. Every life had value. I appreciate the comment.

"Even in the soil of decay, something beautiful can grow." So if there's a nuclear war, I guess they are thinking they can just plant sunfllowers to draw out all the poison in the land and air.
I posted the video on three sites. Thank you, Coyote.

Sunflowers are the plant of healing. I appreciate the comment.

Just like our poems are our children....

Always felt like that when I sent poems out to publications...felt I had raised them the best I could and now they were out in the world to interact with readers and be proud of themselves.

I true that great wisdom dear Coyote; your culture and heritage has so much wise things and ways.
Like a garden, like sunflowers that seek the light and warmth of the sun.
You are correct.

Thank you Sami for reading and the comment. My sunflower plants are doing well this year. Almost a foot. I appreciate the comment.

Fertile soil, fertile mind of the poet, fertile labs.

All it takes is some gentle watering and a little warmth, coyote.
This is a beautiful garden, and very liveable.!

Yes dear Lara. I do agree. We must water our plants/family and have concern for them. Thank you for reading and the comment.
