Shining Purpose

Each spring 

a flower breaks

through snow;

this has 

always

been so.

 

This flower was 

the first

to beacon 

the Sun’s call

to spring. 

 

The Sun

has a world of warmth

yet, for the

Sun,

this flower is 

everything.

 

As years passed,

as time called for 

changes,

the Sun

only grew fonder

of the flower.

 

 

Love grew

within the Sun,

out of the Sun,

all because of this

single

flower. 

 

“I,

have found a purpose

greater than what

I once thought

it to

be.

 

To be here for you,

sweet flower,

that’s why I 

can

continue to shine so

brightly.”

 

In a single moment,

it was apparent;

the Sun

always wanted more 

than anything,

to be

a 

parent.

 

“You,

my dear flower,

complete my

Sol.”

 

Even when 

the flower

is out of sight,

far in another place

tucked away for the night,

the Sun has no doubts

the flower

is the only reason 

it can 

shine so bright.
