(about 1992)
My dear child,
please try to see it my way,
for I can see much farther
than your eyes,
much farther
than the depths of your heart
reach.
My love reaches
into the eternities.
Yes,
I know
some days are cold.
The storm, ever so dark
raging all around.
And my child,
this is why you cannot see
but fear not,
find comfort in me,
look to me,
and I promise
you will be happy.
You will find and live happiness.
You will feel joy so strong,
and love all around
forever and a day.
For I know
what your dreams are,
all I have promised you.
Tomorrow you will be troubled
no more. You will look back,
and know that the days before
this day
were there to teach you,
and you grew,
you learned.
You will have your dream,
never knowing pain again.
I promise. And
I love you.
