For When You May Be Old Enough

For when you may be old enough

		You'll never know me well.
		Circumstance is what it is
		And time won't change,
		Or stand still,
		Even for a second.
		In my heart I have waited for you
		So that I can repay
		A debt.
		A debt of love
		And gratitude,
		Everlasting memories
		I can never give to you,
		For death will come quietly
		Before then.
		His world,
		My world and yours
		Are just so far apart,
		Further than galaxies 
		Not known by us today.
		Your world will change
		Each day from now, 
		As will mine.
		Don't set limits on what you see,
		Or feel,
		Or think,
		Just open your eyes
		And see your own world.
		If fate is kind
		We may meet now and and then,
		But be sure,
		I will watch your every move
		From a distant world
		And hope you understand.
		So now farewell
		To what can never be.
