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.
