irises of emerald - a birthday tribute

golden hair reflects her sunny disposition.
the flowers follow her while she walks,
craning their thin stems with conviction
reaching for every ray that they sought.

a heart large enough to engulf the pacific,
and the atlantic, and the titanic.
her ocean is her happiness, it's felicific.
she carries all her love in her ocean, so gigantic.

sparkling green eyes mirror her view of the world.
her halcyon kept inside, as she goes through reality.
but there's no fear that resounds from those irises of emerald,
only cheer, and glee, and joviality.

 this gorgeous woman, this beautiful being
who strolls the world as if it were her own.
she loves, but only when she's breathing,
she's the dearest friend that i have ever known.
