Acme

Today I made a converse with the universe
I stared at her beauty and felt guilty 
That I'd never had told 
Of how beautiful you are
The grandeur of the universe 
reminded me of your resplendence

The universe said,
"Who is the fairest of them all?"
I smiled with so great a sense of humor
Cos in that very instance
Your name came calling;
Someone who was more splendid
Than mother earth herself

The universe objected:
"My sun lighten up the world"
I objected and said
"But not as much as her smiles does my heart"
Her smile can lighten an empire
Casting no shadows along its path

"What about sky, the blueness thereof?"
I simply reply of your shiny bright eyes
Told her of the white bright clearness 
That no crystal in all the universe
Can nearly compare

The universe kept on her nags:
You can not compare her to the stars of the sky.
Oh she glows in the dark
Like stars of the night
But all your stars combined
Could not so brighten your world
As this single star doth lighten mine

"Only an angel can befit your description"
The universe said, completely daunted
I humbly riposte
That no angel above was endowed like thee
That If you were one
Then you the queen of them all
