Wedding ring

In the darkness of space
Gravity creates a stage

A gas sphere is cast
Making hydrogen to fuse at last

A new star is born in glory
Telling the following story

A blacksmith is what I am
Forging new atoms wherever I can

Made helium as a starter
Heavier elements as a master

Now I'm old
and my furnace is cold

Iron was the last on my list
And time has come to make a fist

Only brute force is able
To continue on the periodic table

In a final act of devotion
I end in a super nova explosion

So darling always keep in mind
For this golden ring a star has died
