Audrey Haick Poet Free verse

My Brightest Star

Today, my brightest star is still my baby
This reference she may find disagreeable
Sometimes the things she says make my head spin
Leaves me speechless as I listen to her opinions
My first and only, beautiful and a definite miracle
Although that’s another story
Sent to me when I’d given up all hope
Through her I’ve leaned some patience
Well, at least much more than before
She inspires me to live life to its fullest
Without fear of neither present nor future
To love without expectation
Finding a peaceful existence within
She may not enjoy the art of cooking
And has no green thumb for gardening
Yet has this extraordinary love for people
Which shines in beautiful smiles easily shared
She is my brightest star in this life!
