More than a cloudless sky filled with falling stars
More than a s­unny day while driving in my car
More than standing at the tip of­ a waterfall mist
Perhaps, even more than my very first kiss,
You­’re still more amazing than any of this
Out of everything beautif­ul, you the top list
More than the sight of a haloed full moon
Mo­re than a great date not ending too soon
More than a cool breeze ­on a hot, sandy coast
Maybe more than giving the perfect wedding ­toast
Thoughts of having you bring me even more hope
Enough so fo­r me to discard my telescope
I know I’ve found my star I was sear­ching for
Confident I’m the water my flower’s thirsting for
You f­eel better than relief from an open sore
Your sound is superior t­o a faultless music score
I can’t imagine you not filling my ever­y thought
You’re everything that anyone has ever sought
You mean ­more than anything I’ve ever bought
Some would dispose of you wit­hout knowing the cost
I’m so glad I’m not them; I know greatness ­when I see it
A king is only a king once the queen has been seate­d
Yeah, I know my place, but I won’t remind you of yours
Though, ­I will remind you of what our future has in store
Our destination­ can be whatever we think it should
We can discover countries or ­explore our backwoods
Whichever course we choose, as long as it’s­ together,
It’s still perfect enough that only heaven could be be­tter

You put more effort into your job.

Think about this.
Let it sink in.
You don't love your job.
Often you don't even like it.

You don't look forward to it.
You don't write happy status updates regarding it.
But you do put more effort into it.

You dress nicer.
You're often kinder and quicker with a compliment for your colleagues.
You're nearly always on time and considerate of others needs and wants.
You do your hair, put on a suit, paint on some face.

Imagine if you did that for your family and loved ones.
Imagine getting up in the morning and making the effort to look your best; no lulu lemons or tank tops and shorts.
Imagine putting on a pressed shirt or dress just so the person you love can see you looking great.
Imagine showing up on time for friends events with a small gift in hand.

Imagine caring as much about the people you love.

This is a poem for my little sister,
Sunday
Who carries emotional battle wounds
From a mother who left her for heroine.
Who hoards food because she's
Afraid
Bullied for being overweight
Light hearted and Jolly
Just to be judged by me
Rejected
By the time I understood I was
Too late
"You're really going to wea- let's go out!"
You needed love
But even I hadnt fully accepted you
Your baby blue eyes pooling became MY
Priority
I can't fix your mom abandoning you
Nor can I make up for the years you didn't know our father
I'll never be able to take back the cruel things I said
That weakened your knees and killed your temporary happiness
I should've been a good role model
But I hated that you became dad's little girl too
I was selfish and blind
Time is not reversible
But each day forward is an opportunity to make your life happier
I love you-
Words you should hear everyday
A twelve year old who never fails to inspire me
My Sunshine
