A Poem for Hoku

Aloha Good People,

The following is a poem written for our beloved Hoku. The volunteer who wrote this is from the Marine Mammal Center in California. Marie was here assisting NOAA in another project. A couple of us got to meet Marie. Barb and Rob spent time telling her all about Hoku and as a result she wrote this beautiful poem. ENJOY! ~donna~

Hi, I never met HOKU, but I thought i'd write this for him...

A silent loving wind

stirs again and again

clouds move aside

clouds move aside

angels come and gather round

quietly without a sound

clouds move aside

clouds move aside

through the window arrives god's radiant light

angels gently life our hoku so cherished and take flight

clouds move aside

clouds move aside

on the wings of angels hoku soars so high

on the wings of angels to the edge of the ocean sky

clouds move aside

clouds move aside

inside the gates of heaven the angels set hoku down

inside the gates of heaven the eternal life he has found

eternal life he has found.

god bless hoku
