My Sunflower & Anchor
October 17, 2018
Sunflowers are similar to my mother
They stand tall in the darkest of days
Basking in the sun's bright rays
Darkness will come but the flower stands tall
“For when i’m with you you’ll never fall”
Even through days of drought
They’ll always be shining without a doubt
I will have no fear
My sunflower is always near
Anchors are similar to my father
They keep you in place
So you don’t float off in blank space
They stop you from drifting into the abyss of life
Making sure I have no stryfe
Anchors are strong enough
My father is who made me tough
I will have no fear
For my anchor is always near

This piece is about my two biggest supporters which happen to be my parents. I wrote this because sunflowers are my favorite flower, they represent brilliance and power. Boating is something I love as well and anchors are a symbol of strength and hold you in place.
