Head of English A Sunflower ​by Mia Moran As I I open my eyes I I see the clouds all all in different shapes
and all all just by themselves I sit up and feel
all the whistling wind touching my skin softly I look around around to see colourful artistry around around me And right there the the flower flower of happiness A A sunflower smiling as as cheerful as as always Life couldn't be be happier and better And I'm in the middle of it all in in the middle of happiness itself Maybe I'm a a a sunflower
