Looking Forward
Dear little eight year old me
Who's seen the impact of cruelty
Know through the years
There'll be more tears
And hope will feel like a fantasy
The world you know grows dark
The faith you trust will part
Your heart will break
From others mistakes
And familiar anguish will scar
The past will be an open tale
Your darkest secrets soon unveiled
And those naïve
Will choose to leave
But even in this love prevailed
For sweetheart let me tell you this
In the middle of chaos you'll find your prince.
His words will assure
His cuddles secure
And change your world with a kiss
Initially cautious of intent
Believing only to be pretend
As months pass by
You instead will find
Every declaration he made, he meant
In time your heart will soften
In his presence pain is forgotten
The half to your whole
The mate for your soul
Forever together, I'm confident
He'll show you an alternative life
One only the heavens could contrive
Visions will carry
Of being married
Becoming one day his wife
So darling be forewarned
Of the coming trials and storms
But through the gray
There'll be a day
When a love between two is born
