little star
of the far southwest.
lunar child, sun kissed
and star blessed.
her iridescent smile
bespeaks the glory
of centuries to be
and of spirits passed.
her heart is
a blooming desert,
celebrating the cactus flower.
she is both sunrise and sunset
and best;
my sister of lifting veils...
little star,
please shine and smile for me?

You have no idea how touched I am. Big rolly polly tears are falling down my face and I am honoured that you would write such a magical poem for me.
It has been a really tough night and to come home to this was the balm my broken heart needed.
I absolutely love it!!! ALL.
It's an honour thank you so much.
Love you always and you have all my respect what a magnificent human being you are Sis, Lilbit xox

I am a toad compared to you. you are a light unto yourself and I love you dearly, I hope you know that. you are a shining example of a bit of heaven!
