Such a beautiful poem written about this person who has not only come as a beacon of light in your life, but also a friend who will try to understand, and never give up on you even if you doubt yourself.

Encouraging and brimming with inspiration!
These two lines made me smile a lot as I love how you worded them, a person like is truly heaven-sent, especially how they bring out your spirit, not ever tearing it down:

"whispering motivation into my ears
and knitting strength into my soul."

- That is the way to live! Keep fighting for strength and be around people who will walk with you each step of the way, even if it may be slow or at your own pace.

Beautiful again Saffie!

As you have told me before that most of your poems are about your Mum, I assume that this is one of those, and it certainly is a beauty. <3

The first two stanzas remind me of that mother and babies first chance to bond. Her holding you, snuggling you within a blanket and cooing beautiful words into your ears.

I love the metaphor with the petals... how you are flourishing with each word of encouragement... how she planted you and tended to you until you were a beautiful flower.

<3

This is soo inspiring and heartwarming, the emotions you've put in it are so sincere and honest.

Just great job Saffie:) hope this get nominated!!
