Big Sky Wish Poem by Frank Parness

OFTEN BEATEN TO THE PUNCH
LOOK TO THE SKY SHE SAYS WITH A HUNCH

HER SOULFUL MIND SEES WHAT I SOMETIMES CAN’T

BIRDS AT ARMS LENGTH STRAIGHT ABOVE
MY MOM.. HER DAD.. SHARING LOVE

IT HARDLY DAWNED ON ME AT FIRST
AMAZING WHEN YOU CONSDIER MY THIRST

I SAT IN AWE AND FILLED WITH TEARS
WHEN SHE SPILLED THE TRUTH TO ME

FAR FAR AWAY, I THINK NOT
WHEN WE SAT FOR COFFEE AND TEA

MY BEST FRIEND AND A CONNECTION SO DEEP
I HOPE SHE KNOWS I FEEL MUCH MORE

ON THIS BRIGHT SUNNY DAY WITH
FOUR SOULS HAND IN HAND
WE PRAYED ABOVE THEY WOULD LAND

I KNOW SHE IS WATCHING ME WHEN
I’M WATCHING HER
ME AT HER EYES, HER AT MY LIPS
TO MY PASSIONATE THOUGHTS I MUST DEFER

ANOTHER MOMENT IN TIME ENSCRIBED
AND BURNED IN OUR BIG SKY ABOVE
AGAIN THEY RAIN UPON US WITH LOVE
