For Cindy, my friend
My heart goes where my arms failed
A mother's love unconquered
Birth-heart connection prevailed
 
My heart slips in as she sleeps
Gathers around her, cradling
Rocks the one I couldn't keep
 
A thousand miles
For just one smile ...
 
Wishes fly
Above their eyes ...
 
A scarlet cord
Across the shore ...
 
My heart is flying, untethered
Searching for her, my child
Outstretched, soaring, unfeathered
 
My heart waits with burning light
For familiar melody calling 
A daughter's heart in the night
 
Until that day she's in my sight
My heart will fly ...remain in flight
