Precious Sunflower
 
For my precious friend,
Rowena Low
 
You came in when I was in gloom
When life was all grey and blue
Up springs this happy sunflower
Bringing forth smiles and colours
 
My heart used to stand and fight
Emotions took over, I waver and cried
When all I needed was just a friend
You stood by to listen and understand
 
I once wondered what was wrong with me
Dependable, enthusiastic, full of cheer
All was gone until this sunflower sprang
From God's hands onto my rocky path
 
You gave me courage to fly again
When I wanted to stay and hide
Your prayers so sincere, heart so true
That was what brought me through
 
Now as I look upon our loving Lord
I thank Him for you, sent into my life
Your name "Rowena" speaks it all
Slender and fair, my precious sunflower!
 
 With love always,
Lisa Lu
