100 Days

100 days of fierce fighting 
For sovereignty
For freedom 
For peace
100 days in incessant fear
Nightly prayers that bloodshed would cease. 
100 days- she stands tall like a sunflower 
Infrangible
Unbreakable
Strong
100 days she illuminates others around her 
Without the full sun - she would cease to grow
100 days of admired bravery under rockets
missiles and gun shells
100 days sirens relentlessly screaming
As though telling to say the last farewell
