To An Extraordinary Lady

You are unique in all you do,
even the darkened sky remains blue:
to allow the stars to stand out
as those radiant eyes of woman
that shine more than them at night!
Dream and make wishes before dawn;
let them flee to your nearest star,
but ask them not to go too far! 


My poem is dedicated to Carolyn Devonshire
on her birthday.

Sweet Andrew, you make my day so bright! Just wish I could read your emails -- they always come through with server errors. Thank you for your beautiful poem and your special birthday wishes! Love, Carolyn (another favorite for me, of course)
