A little boy plants a sunflower in his garden.
He waters it every day, and loves to watch it grow.
The sun warms, the air freshens, and the soil nurtures.
Winter comes.
The sunflower withers and dies.
The little boy weeps for the darling tiny corpse.

Next spring, the little boy once again plants his sunflower.
He waters it every day, and loves to watch it grow.
The sun warms, the air freshens, and the soil nurtures.
Winter comes.
The sunflower withers and dies.
The little boy stares down hollowly at the darling tiny corpse.

Next spring, the little boy does not plant his sunflower
Because he knows death is imminent.
Instead, he wanders through the lifeless fields alone.
Winter comes.
The land remains desolate, and no life relieves the bloodshed.
The garden weeps in despair.
The first of a series of poems briefly recounting parts of the childhoods of the central countries in Axis Powers Hetalia.

Started with Russia because he's my fave and the easiest to write about for some reason ^^

There is a message in the poem--but I'd like to hear what you guys interpret it as! :D

So, like, this is like all his freinds and how everyone is scared of Russia so he can never keep his freinds?

Sweet poem, btw! I love it!
