Sunshine

Her strength is like the tales once told
When story books were edged in gold
Unlike stars that fall from space
Sunshine’s smile lights up her face
Resilience, passion, love, and faith
Have kept her clean and made her brave
As deserts dream of rain at night
Not even floods can stop her might
Rivers merge from miles apart
To feel the love inside her heart
Much is reached by those she knows
Like knowledge, strength, and ways to grow
A mother, artist, and a friend
Who’s lived a life without pretend
How proud and happy she should feel
For what’s achieved the past ten years
Her perseverance and good deeds
Defines herself and those she needs
Sunshine simply represents
The good that comes from happiness
Glowing bright from outer space
A star is here to take its place
Thankful is the word I find
That Sunshine is a friend of mine
