Catalina's Milky Way Dreams
(c) Re- Written 2024 - By The Depressed Poet, Doc Dalton
Shooting Stars and fast moving CarsRumble through the roads of my mindTick-e-ty Tock, the old sounds of the clockSay's it's almost a quarter past nine
The moons surely rising, the stars are a glidingAnd Mr. Sandman is ready to roamHurry off to bed and put your pillow under your headHe might just be visiting you tonight at homeDrifting off to sleep is such a wonderful featAdventures you'll enjoy on your ownMaking new friends on a journey to no endA secrete life that is yours all aloneDon't be afraid of those gobble lee goo'sOr those pirates drifting to sea on their boatsThere's no need to worry there just in your dreamsLike rainbow clouds and cotton candy floatsOh that sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerPlease, don't take my Dreams a wayTo see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way DreamsWe could have so much funUnder an ice cream sun and laugh our time awaySing some M & M songs the whole day longUntil we awake to brand new day
Pluto say's hey kiddo don't get out of bedAs Snakel Puss laughs and says, ah it's OKKKKKKKKPopeye yell's, were gone in a minute after I eat me spinachPoo say's all aboard my Banana Split SleighOh that Sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerWorry not Catalina, we won't take your Dreams a way
To see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way Dreams
Catalina say's, please come join me, on my Milky Way Dreams




I still remember the very first moment we met.

You looked at me with those beautiful eyes and that unforgettable smile, and in that single heartbeat, the world around me simply faded away. The noise, the people, the passing moments - none of it mattered anymore. Somehow, my soul recognized yours before a single word was even spoken. It felt as though Heaven itself had quietly whispered, "There she is… the one your heart has been searching for."

Even now, after all these years, I can still see that moment as clearly as if it happened yesterday. The way your eyes sparkled. The gentle warmth in your smile. The feeling that my life had just begun the instant you walked into it.

From my heart to your heart, it was one of the happiest moments of my life.

Then came the day you became my wife.

You walked toward me looking more beautiful than words could ever hope to describe. The wind danced softly through your hair as though even the heavens admired you. Your smile carried a light that calmed every fear inside me, and your eyes held a love so deep, so pure, that I knew in that moment I had become the luckiest man alive.

As I stood beside you, my heart overflowed with pride, joy, peace, and a love so powerful it almost brought me to tears. I remember thinking that if time had stopped right there, I would have already lived a blessed life.

From my heart to your heart, I was so proud to call you mine.

Then our children came into this world, and somehow, you became even more beautiful to me.

I watched you become not only the woman I loved, but the heart of our family. You filled our home with laughter that could heal the darkest days and with a warmth that made every room feel safe. You carried the weight of motherhood with grace, patience, and a tenderness that amazed me every single day.

There were nights when you were exhausted, yet you still smiled. Days when life tested you, yet you still gave your love so freely to everyone around you. And through it all, I would look at you and fall in love all over again.

Your beautiful eyes still held kindness. Your smile still lit up my world. And your touch still felt like home.

From my heart to your heart, I was happier than I ever dreamed possible.

Before we realized it, the years quietly slipped by and the children grew older.

One by one, they built lives and families of their own, leaving behind quiet rooms filled with treasured memories. Yet even as time touched our hair and softened our steps, my love for you only grew deeper.

I would catch myself watching you from across the room the same way I had all those years ago. And somehow, after everything life had placed in our path, you were even more beautiful to me now than the day we first met.

Because true beauty was never just in your face. It was in your heart. In your kindness. In your strength. In the endless love you gave so effortlessly.

Your eyes still carried that same sparkle that first stole my breath away. Your smile still healed every sorrow inside me. And your soul became the greatest love story my life would ever know.

From my heart to your heart, I was forever in awe of you.

Then came our golden years. Once again the house filled with laughter as grandchildren ran through our lives like little miracles sent from Heaven. And somehow, in those years, we loved each other even more deeply than before.

We laughed harder. Held each other longer. Spoke softer. Loved deeper.

There were quiet nights when I would simply sit beside you, listening to the sound of your voice, silently thanking God for every moment He allowed me to spend with you.

Watching you with our grandchildren often brought tears to my eyes, because even after all those years, you still carried the same beautiful light within you - the same warmth that first captured my soul.

And in those moments, I realized something truly beautiful: I had never simply fallen in love with you once. I had fallen in love with you a thousand different times throughout our life together. From my heart to your heart, I knew I had lived a blessed and beautiful life.

But now, my love, the final chapter has arrived. The time has come for me to leave this world before you, and though my heart aches knowing I must say goodbye, there is something I need you to always remember.

My love for you will never end. Not with time. Not with distance. Not even with death itself. I will wait for you. And when your journey here is finally complete, I will be the first one there to greet you with open arms. I will look into those beautiful eyes once more, hold your hands again, and remind you that not even Heaven could keep me from loving you.

Until then, I will watch over you. Walk beside you in silence. And love you from beyond the stars. And even from Heaven itself, I know I will still admire the same things that made me fall hopelessly in love with you all those years ago. Your eyes. Your smile.Your beautiful soul.

And I promise you this above all else: I will never stop loving you. Not simply from my heart to your heart… But now and forever, from my soul to your soul.
