My Sunflower Poem by Terry Donovan

It growed and it growed
And nobody knowed
If it was ever going to stop,
One day it was half way up the fence,
The next it was over the top.

It got taller than me
Then taller than mum
And soon it was taller than dad,
It went ever so high,
Right into the sky
And still it kept growing like mad.

I went back to school
And the days got quite cool
But its growing days, they weren't yet done,
When I came home each day,
It was further away
From me - but nearer the sun.

And it hasn't stopped yet,
It's much taller I bet
Than anything you ever saw,
And I think that it might
End up right out of sight,
Disappear, if it grows any more.
