A Poem For Moira Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

I've often thought of the sun
How it's all alone up there
Alone but happy
Wondered why I couldn't be like that
Alone, radiant, oozing with confidence, complete

I've stared at the sun, days on end
Thinking maybe it'll fade away in time
On some days, she the sun would
Be lost behind clouds
But when she availed herself again
She would still be complete,
From that alone, I've learned that
The sun doesn't lose anything by
Gifting us with her golden rays, her Light, her love, her warmth
No, she's ever complete

I've stared at the sun most times
Thought of you
How you love without ever holding back
How behind clouds of tribulations
You were once hidden
But came out stronger, fiercer even
And I've stared at you
And saw how like the sun
God made you to touch lives, to bring life into and to bless
Everything you come across
And on some days I think you're a ruby in a field of roses
Set apart, just like that
