Mothers

Those eyes: deep brown centers

Beautiful flecks of yellow gold

Perfectly rimmed along the outer edges;

perfect - just like a sunflower she was

She exuded sunshine. It beamed from her eyes

A white light shining from her smiling

Flowing from the top of head like a waterfall;

Her hair spun with waves of gold

It poured down, entangled in her grounded roots

She was strong. Stood tall.

Legs long and sturdy to hold her up, growing toward the sun

Seeds of faith planted in her heart

Protecting her from rainy days and stormy nights.

She was glorious.

A beautiful sunflower radiating positivity

Planted firm in morals with dignity

She was a guiding light for all who seeked

Resilient and Reliable.

I will always have a soft spot in my heart for sunflowers;

more than just a rare flower,

an Earthbound angel, she was my sun
