Oh brave people of Ukraine
Sunflowers remind me of you
The courage that you are showing
Is shaming those who are powerful
Yet are hiding under the garb of diplomacy
And you,unequipped, vulnerable, facing the mighty enemy
With simple weapons and your courage alone
May you emerge victorious and show us all
How the brave face the enemy with strong hearts

Welcome to my Random Friday Prompt! This week, letβs work with a sunflower theme
Written for RFP # 9 – Sunflower, hosted by Paula

Braveness can’t be weighed or measured.
Diplomacy is also necessary and it takes courage too.
Wonderful interpretation of the prompt.
