The Path to My 2 Angel's

For my Angelo

It started out a slit of light.

Stubbornly, it grew to a crescent.

In this June-July sky,

while I wait to see you for the first time,

its progress seems painfully slow.

Three-quarters now,

it will be full in three nights.

Then in reverse, it will shrink to a crescent before I travel.

Eleven long nights.

I have no power to speed the earth's shadow as it moves across the moon's face.

I think that I may notice each degree of progress.

The moon will be gone, the sun will rise,

They will bring you to me.

Is it true? I will hold you close to my heart,

I will feel you breath and finally believe,

You belong to me....

Until we meet sweet little baby boy....

Love mommy
