Dear Me

DEAR ME A letter to my future self By the time you read this letter, You’ll be a grey-haired man Surrounded by our family, If all has gone to plan Today I’m going to marry Our childhood sweetheart, Beth, And we’ll vow to be together Until we’re parted by death. We plan to have two children. You’ll know if that came true. And, if we’ve been good parents, Beth and me and you. I pray that when you read this, On our Golden Wedding day, She’ll still be there beside you, Steadfast, come what may We are saving hard for our first home, Just two rooms up and down. Our first step on the ladder, On the poorer side of town I’ve just had my first promotion At the firm of Brown and Son. Maybe, by the time you retired, We were up at number one. I hope you won’t look back and regret The early decisions I made. They seemed right when I made them, Each one carefully weighed That’s all I have to say for now, So, without any further fuss, I’ll simply sign this letter “Happy Anniversary – to us 28th September 2021 Letter to Your Future Self contest Sponsor - Silent One
