Notes About The Poem

Letter To Your Future Self

20XX

Dearest Kim,

You’ll be surprised. It’s me! Hope you are still
laughing. Be positive. Be light. Let God guide you
in the darkest night. Be strong as Samson,
have King David’s heart, be wise as Solomon,
follow the light. Reach without, within. Hold tight
to your progeny but know you gave your all
to show them right - the right way of life.
Love them. Love yourself. Love God most of all.
And if this finds you melancholy, through suffering
or sickness, remember you’re never alone.
God is your rock. He will spur you home,
lavish you with blessings so much greater
than the lowest place you’ve ever been.
Keep your chin up, kid. A new beginning follows
the end. And your loved ones will be just fine.
The sun, the moon, the stars and God’s eye
shines on them. It’s okay to let go. Let’s fly!

With love from you,

Your Dearest Kim
