Clouds
The clouds always catch my eye
It's such an awesome scene
If I tell what I see
You’ll say it’s just a dream.
Are those fluffy pillows
For someone’s sleepy head
Or have the little Angels
Been jumping on the bed.
There’s a gigantic iceberg
With mamma polar bear
She just jumped into the sea
To join her cubs in there.
A ship it’s sail a blowing
Drifts off to the south
Headed toward a port unknown
It’s cargo a surprise.
Marshmallows bobbing
Upon an anxious sea
Make me wish for hot chocolate
Instead of my ice tea.
Are those a flock of Pelicans
Off there to my right
No, they look more like Pterodactyls
Dinosaurs in flight.
One day while at my daughters
I was truly moved
I saw a buffalo cloud suspended
Above their little herd.
A cross above a little church
From which I tried to draw hope
As a sign God would let our daughter
Remain here on the earth.
The morning after my Mother died
There before my eyes
Was Angel Gabriel and his trumpet
She was in Paradise.
And so in the mean time
I will watch the clouds
Waiting for God’s message
From someone else I love.
