Caterina, Angel of thread

Caterina!
God's angel of thread
just what are you doing?
what dough do you knead?

In your busy little A-1 Tailor Shop
ever sewing
sewing and sewing
to keep others going.

Do you help a young fellow
with his very first romance?
the way you sew his pants.

Alter attractive dresses to fit just right
not too loose and not too tight
help little boys and little girls
wear pretty clothes just right.

For graduation class
or a ceremonial mass
or just a special day.

As you sew all day
I wonder
just what music do you play?

Are you dreaming of a bygone day
when love was filled with play?
or just wondering what to do
when all your work is through, today?

When I first saw you in your sewing place
my heart began to race
just off Joe Orr Road
on Ashland Avenue.

Across from Marion High School too
my glowing heart just said
why isn't that Caterina
God's Angel of thread?

Thank you, Noah, for your very touching words. Caterina, is a very beautiful, sweet,  hard working lady. I wrote this for her a couple years ago, after visiting over an hour with her as she tailored a suit for me. Glad you liked it. Yes, she liked it. It is now framed on her wall.
