Vatthal to my rooftop

 

She is funny
Eccentric
She weaves her colors onto mufflers and patchy woolen blankets


She is strong

Fierce

Hurts may happen, she only looks back with a smile


She is stubborn

Defiant

She reasons deftly yet loves without reason


She is tender

Happy

Like a breeze that soothes your brow on the hottest day


She's a willow

A warrior

A teacher-banker-lawyer-engineer-doctor - everyday she's more


My doe eyed beauty

My wise child

Who smells of cloves and freshly gardened earth, of edward roses and kohl


You seem exhausted

But they’re wrong. You are strong.

Like the sun, too strong for the naked eye to see. But you'll always shine through to the likes of me.
