What a Woman

She sits working on what’s probably astronomy,

her messy bun atop her head like a crown for a queen,

while the sun, the very star she studies, shines on her - my star.

What a woman - I tell her, borrowing that

voice she does that has the perfect amount of grit

and energy that lights up my world.

As she gives her little laugh, sweeter than honey -

my honey, makes me realize just how lucky

our tiny little rock of Earth is to have such a bright star,

a warm, caring, and kind star that without fail

brightens that tiny little rock of Earth.
