Shelia Hatke
in honor of Paul.
Before I could hold you,
before your first cry
You soared to the heavens beyond the blue sky
I dreamed of your laughter, your eyes filled with light.
But fate had you sleeping
Before it turned night
I whisper your name to the stars as they gleam
And rock you to sleep.
In the depths of my dream.
Sweet baby Paul, I will hold you in my heart, til I can hold you in Heaven.
I love you forever, Mimi
