Stephen William Hawking Poem by James McLain

Neuro-muscular dystrophy
and but for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
instead of insanity
choosing for) wo(man
the diamonds even our own sun
and daughters can but become to a chair.
Random chance have you proportioned
even but to this for whom other could have
trapped within that hole of light
that he your other proffered thus even now
because of what can then light it will as deep as the well
and once removed
every thing else goes back from whence it came
to start again
because you showed up and spread out your wings
like the stars
and for that bright flash, inward outward expands
the flame of possibility for all and to those of whom
simply because you showed up with the flame
that now burns within the minds and hearts
of the suns you made too each and daughters
something that they will stand up for and their grace
became your reflection they see when into the sky
they now gaze knowing they are free to exceed
slow speed of simple light that your radiation
has proven they will now over come.
