Goal
I hope you’ll be in my arms when you read this,
many, many years and more from now.
We’ll smile and fondly remember my tenacity
for not giving up on us, even though you told me to.
The only thing that will stop me dead
is your own will, pushing me away.
No rule, binding as it may be,
will manage to keep me away from thee.
I’ve played by the rules all my life
and have precious little to show for it,
but now I’m trying for what I now know I need:
the truly exceptional in my life, embodied in you.
You wished me strength to reach my goal…
How I wish I could tell you… that goal is you.
