Desert

I met her in grade 7

She was a bowl of sunshine, with anxiety and hope mixed in.

A desert, where things thrive in situations that most can't.

She made me feel like the sun was something she built for me in her toolshed.
She was my Sun, and I was but a cactus.

Er...wow! What an incredibly poignant and beautifully crafted little tribute...gobsmacked...truly. I felt as if I were reading Carol Ann Duffy...I jest not. A brilliant piece of verse! My best regards, Amelia. :) john P.s Welcome to the great "Soup".
