For Orion

By Dommi

If there is a heaven
then it fell into my arms
Softly breathing, ever content
next to the beating of my heart

If there is a god
I can see him in your eyes
looking back, forgiving me
for every misdeed in my life

If there is true love
it is embodied in your grasp
You hold my hand just like your father
with a bond that is made to last

If ever there was hope
A desire to be more
It's a spark inside the very depths
of a brand new mother's core

If there is real happiness
like in tales that I've been told
then it is there in my son's smile
the purest form that I'll behold
