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
