The Only Star For Me

On this verdant place
Surrounded by blue oceans…
Many billions dwell
Yet on this crowded planet
Only my sunshine rises

I believe in the profundity - and the simplicity - of what you have written, Harry. Amidst this vast universe, the sun rises for you (and you alone!). Beautiful perspective, without which all is lost. :) gw
