North Star
She is the sweetest being that I know:
Her lips tasting like strawberry
flavoured vanilla extract;
Her voice sounding like a sym-
phony composed by Beethoven himself.
She is the kindest person that I know:
Her heart bigger than the
entire North American landmass;
Her smile brighter than the stadium
lights at the theatre of dreams.
She is the bravest woman that I know:
Her courage second only to that
of a lioness protecting her cub;
Her laugh softer than my uncle's
month-old baby's cheeks.
She is Halimah,
My beautiful bright north star;
The one who illuminates my dark path,
The light that will guide me home.
