Like a sunflower, you grow with grace
Like a sunflower, you shimmer the color gold
Like a sunflower, you shine like the sun
Like a sunflower, I miss you when you’re gone
With such grace,
How do you give whilst taking so little,
How do you mend the broken glass,
How do you grow in the dark without light,
How do I become like your spirit?
Where love is gold,
Love is the taste of cinnamon,
Love is your collection of dolls,
Love is the petaled flowers in your yard,
Love is what I feel from your love.
Your shining luck,
The lucky one is kissed by your kindness,
The lucky one is tied to your devotion,
The lucky one is gifted with your wisdom,
The lucky one is in my blood.
When I miss you,
I’ll never forget our conversations in the car,
I’ll never forget the days we spent at the park,
I’ll never forget eating Red Vines with you at home,
I’ll never forget the way you made me strong.
