Staring up the night sky
Ever up so high
With the stars shining bright
Making up a marvel of a sight
You sit and ponder
About the ceaseless wonder
That is the Planet Earth
On which you occupy a berth
Embarking on a journey of life
With your dear and loving wife
For which I wish in abundance
Through this heartfelt correspondence
Dedicated to an astronomical friend of mine on his life’s big day.
