Favorite Quote:
"Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved." -Winnie the Pooh


Her eyes twinkle like stars on summer nights,
green as grass on rolling hills and fields.
The days, she fills with summer sun and lights;
frigid storms and chilly winds she shields.
The sun, confident in its hot pursuit,
inspiring pleasure, fostering life.
Marvelous growth its potent rays impute.
Under shrouds of warmth, good spirits are rife.
Through summer’s strong shine, winter cannot pass.
A barricade she builds to block the snow.
A symbol of love, gracious hearts amass,
and unto them kindness she will bestow.
A fish out of water, winter retreats,
as with summer’s warm heart, no one competes.

This poem symbolizes my mother. Like summer, her warmth radiates, preventing the dark and the cold from invading her and those around her.
