To Davy 

                                            To my son

There was a blizzard 

    in the world.

And everywhere —  

it was cold.

I flew through time.

Suddenly 

I found an “oasis.”

        It's you, my baby!

You’re the most beloved!

 

Every Finish had its Start.* 

          You and I,  

though 50 years apart,  

      will die…

But I won’t ever 

    let go off you.  

Heard this? Never!

         

A sunny ray after all 

    finds 

even the needle’s eye!

                                    And in the future,  

which is still to come, 

                                   long after me —  

you will be 

                 left, my son,  

with radiation from above* 

                                            of my eternal love...
