Dedicated to my friend,
Thalia Hufton
Celebrating twenty-
and “catching” 1300 babies!
Thalia’s Hands
Soon, my darling … soon …
our private party will be over.
And, as much as I can’t wait to see you,
I’m not ready to take down the streamers …
to gather up the balloons … to sweep the floor …
or share your personal touch.
Soon, my delight … soon …
“our song” will end.
And, it’s for forever that I long
to listen to our love song … to dance with you …
to fall asleep with you,
as we drift away on its strains.
Soon … my shining star … very soon …
you will face the crowd outside …
the adoring fans, who clamor for you …
who love you.
And, you will exit from the darkness offstage …
and step into the spotlight.
So, my precious one …
the possessor of my heart …
while I still hold your undivided attention,
I will let you in on a fabulous truth.
The first tender caress you receive will be God’s …
for He lovingly abides in Thalia’s hands.
