A Thousand Sunrises

Mama taught me how to smile through a storm and how to love even when I'm hurting.

She's been through so much cruelty,

yet love, mercy and kindness emanate from her.

The heaviness of her sacrifices scarred her hands,

yet she wore them like gloves.

Her heart is a broken melody,

yet her words caress broken hearts.

She's been through so much sorrow,

yet her smile is the spring that gives rise to Eden.

She makes the eclipse hovering over her

seem like a thousand sunrises.
