that i would watch the sunsets someday,
not alone in my awe,
but with a soft hand clutching mine;
that i would open my eyes to the sun,
knowing that the day’s promise was mine,
because i have you by my side;
that i would look forward to the future
with a smile that shall speak of my courage,
buoyed by your love.
