OUR PARTNERSHIP: PART I

Then you accept the mission, the Council said,

With tears in my eyes, I nodded my head,

I glanced over to where he stood,

And knew in my heart, he also would.

 

We knew the journey we'd undertake,

That it wouldn't be easy, and how hearts would break,

Loneliness would take its toll,

And things would often be out of control. 

We signed the contract with our tears,

For we knew it would be years,

Separated by distant oceans,

Oft confused by our emotions.

We would forget while on earth,

And Karma would often be our curse, 

Other souls would lure us away,

Lessons to learn, night and day.

 

But there would also be felicity,

Blessings of love and serendipity,

Family, friends and things of wonder,

For the little boy living in the land Down Under. 

 

I was 12, when you were born,

Busy learning to play French Horn,

Living in the USA,

Family, friends, on my way. 

 

 

 

The LDR Mission

Then you accept the mission, the Council said,
With tears in my eyes, I nodded my head,
I glanced over to where he stood,
And knew in my heart,  he also would.  

We knew the journey we'd undertake,
That it wouldn't be easy and how hearts would break,
Loneliness would take its toll,
And things would be out of control.

We signed the contract with our tears,
For we knew it would be years,
Separated by distant oceans,
Oft confused by our emotions.

We would forget while on earth,
And Karma would often be our curse,
Other souls would lure us away,
Lessons to learn night and day.

But there would also be felicity,
Blessings of love and serendipity,
Family, friends,  and things of wonder,
For the little boy living Down Under.

I was 12 when you were born,
Busy learning to play French Horn,
Living in the USA,
Family, friends, on my way.

Years went by in a blur,
You grew up and married her,
Around the time I was breaking free, unaware of what was to be,

You were creating your family,

I was on a quest to discover ME.

While you were putting down your roots,

I was trying on different boots,

Trying different relationships,

Dreaming of intergalactic ships.
