For my nephew.

You gave me a bracelet of the solar system
although you don't know you did
of all the planets and their moons
on a string around my wrist
theres little black beads
between each tiny world
each one representing
a million miles
curled around my bones
you've given me responsibility
of the Milky Way
but, believe me,
its a small price to pay
to be able to see you everyday.

I'd carry the weight
of everything that is in space
just to see your face.
