May sunflowers bloom in Ukraine – v4 #poetry #Faith #Family #flowers #God #hope #prayer #Ukraine #StandwithUkraine #VictoryforUkraine #blue #yellow #flag #wheat #sunflowers #sky

May this war come to an end
with freedom for these people
the brave men and women,
for all the children of this land
Awash in blue and yellow…
 
May sunflowers bloom in Ukraine
May there be a great grain harvest
may they be able to return, to rebuild,
In peace, soon, in their homeland
Awash in blue and yellow…
 
May peace take root, firmly planted
in their rich, dark soil, this earth,
May they walk in their lives freed
from aggression, in their homeland
Awash in blue and yellow…

A #Sunflower grows #Ukraine

A Sunflower grows, rising,
out of the rubble, the inferno,
in the streets, from the ashes,
in the fertile ground of hope…
 
A Sunflower grows, rising,
defying the terror, the tyrant,
not surrendering, not giving in,
standing erect, defiant, resolute…
 
A Sunflower grows, rising,
from the fertile soil, this country,
alive with the colors of their flag,
their hope that burns within…

#Sunflowers Grow #Ukraine

In the midst of their anguish,
under the rubble, the inferno,
in the streets, in the buildings,
in the fertile ground of hope…
 
Sunflowers grow, rising,
defying the terror, the tyrant,
not giving in, surrendering, no,
standing erect, defiant, resolute…
 
They will rise, abundantly,
from the fertile soil, this country,
alive with the colors of their flag,
the hope that burns within…
