My mom left years ago and just recently found this poem that was written just after. I wasn't sure where to put it, so here it is.
One day on the way to work I noticed how beautiful the sun so I decided to write something about it
When I was finished, and later I was thinking about it
I realized how much you and the sun had in common

The Sun
The sun sustains life
It allows things to grow
It warms us
The mere sight of it on a cloudy day causes us to involuntarily smile
It gives us goose bumps
It is consistent
It is one of the most beautiful and amazing of God’s creations
It takes on different forms and appearances – each one unique and splendid
It provides a means for us to see our path
It attracts us
Sometimes we take time out to stare at it
It brightens up everything around it
Laying around in its presence is something we crave and envy
And we can’t get enough
It is the source of rainbows after a storm
Some people look through telescopes to get a better view
It never runs out of energy
It melts away darkness and creates light
Every time darkness comes around it makes every one it touches happier
It is the source of much power
It makes ordinary things (oceans) look spectacular (sunsets)
It is something we need everyday
It’s something we can’t live without
It inspires us, even when it’s not around
You find comfort that where ever it is
It’s making people happy
Rosie, thank you for being a “sun” in my life
Love Steve
