The Sun and Her Flowers
Over the last few months, many of us have relied on the wisdom of friends, family, and colleagues to keep us strong. In this poem, Rupi Kaur shares some wisdom from her mother. Happy Mother’s Day!
The Sun and Her Flowers
by Rupi Kaur
this is the recipe of life
said my mother
as she held me in her arms as i wept
think of those flowers you plant
in the garden each year
they will teach you
that people too
must wilt
fall
root
rise
in order to bloom
