Duchess
by Terri Denemy
DUCHESS The sun turned its eyes away The light was just too bright. It hid in shame as if to say, "It might as well be night." And what eclipse did occur With no moon up in the sky? It was my darling Duchess And the sparkle in her eye. It was her spirit that outshone The sun's brighest rays. It was pure joy that lit the world as she romps and plays. It was a light so pure and true The sun had to hide in shame. Light and love so pure exists And Duchess is her name.
