Two sunflowers looked into the sky:
     ‘I love the sun,’ one said.
‘It sends its warming rays to earth
     And warms us in our bed.’

​

‘We need rain, too,’ replied his friend.
        It helps us to grow tall;
Whilst sunflowers stretch to reach the sun
     The buttercups stay small.’

​

They looked up at the sun’s bright face,
      Then noticed in the sky,
A big black cloud that carried rain
      Came slowly floating by.

​

Then, as it drifted overhead,
     Its rain began to pour.
Then lightning came, the thunder too
     And raindrops, more and more.

​

The raindrops toppled from the sky -
       Refreshing, pure and cool.
They watered fields, woodlands and towns 
      And pattered on your school.

​

The sun looked down to dry the earth,
      And wished the rain goodbye –
‘Oh, look up there!’ one sunflower said:
      ‘What’s that up in the sky?’

​

A brightly coloured arch appeared,
     That glittered in the sun:
‘Oh goodness me!’ said both of them,
     ‘The sun is having fun!’ 

​

‘A rainbow!’ said one sunflower,
     ‘Made by the rain and sun!’
‘It’s stunning!’ said the other one.
     ‘The colours are such fun.’

​

So when the rain and sun are out,
     Look up into the sky.
You’ll see the prettiest sight on earth,
      As no-one can deny.
