Our Gift

The Lord gave us the gift of you,

just like a sunflower in a mountain view.

You were here for just a little while,

just like the sunflower and a fleeting smile.

The sunflower doesn't end,

it leaves its seeds to sprout again.

Your time may have passed by,

but your seeds will never die.

Rest easy for we will see you someday again,

when our Heavenly Father calls us home in the end.

Our sunflower, our rock, our gift who was only here for a little while.
