Dear future, tell my husband
That I love him, though we’ve not yet met
Pray for him and keep him safe
In your hands, let him rest
Tell my little kids, so small and sweet
How I long to hold them tight
To teach them right from wrong
And guide them through life’s fight
Dear future, show me mercy
In your web of time and space
Bring us together, make us whole
In your gentle embrace
And when we finally meet
In the land of the unknown
I’ll hold my husband close
And teach our kids how life has grown
So dear future, hear my plea
To bring us all together
And in your loving arms
Let us stay forever.
