~ A poem for Bill written by Destini
My family is the same as a fine grown garden in the fresh morning air of a beautiful summer day.
My grandma is like water, she helps us grow and her love is endless yet if there is too much in one place you could drown.
My grandma's boyfriend is like the sun, even though he isn't with us exactly he is. He's there to help us grow and bloom into whatever we are going to become, silently supporting us and helping us in our own way.
My eldest uncle is like the large apple tree in the middle of the garden. He is always strong in any situation thrown our way, providing shade whenever needed.
The youngest uncle is like the grape vine growing on the walls of the garden. Extremely sporadic and wild, however when it comes to support, he will support you as the vines do the grapes
I am like Johnny jump-ups. If I disappear the garden knows, once I feel more myself I'll be back and better than ever.
Finally, the dogs are the soil. They keep us all together and when no one seems to be there the dogs are and they always will be.
