The first time I said it
She blushed and said "I don't think so"
but I could tell she was flattered
Subsequent times,
she mostly just smiled
sometimes closing her eyes and looking away
Some people are born skeptics
other people never see themselves as special
Finally I went to printing shop and had them create a license
an impersonal gift, I know
but I felt the need to give her something tangible
She did not need the World's consent,
but now she has it
