Dandelion
for my best friend on her birthday
Aug 29, 2017 · 1 min read

strength and compassion
without even trying
so many wrongs done right
just with her smiling
a smile I miss so damn much
as many times as she’s been crushed
but does she even know?
that hope has a home where her eyes are
and dandelion love flows from her every scar
like blankets of ‘we will see the sun again’
covering the fire in the ugly dark eyes of pain
I hope she knows that she is still
beautiful as the day we met
strong as the hands that made her
fragile as the ground she fled
and when her weary soul starts aching for rest
and she can’t see the sun no longer
I hope these words remind her
that my stubborn love will always surround her
like the millions of suns I see break upon her
every time she takes a step
