the sabbatical

time for me is standing still

my heart must cease to beat

a forever love sabbatical

a dignified retreat .

.

feelings never alter dear

and nor will mine for you

so please do not shed any tear

and dreams may yet come true .

.

be who you were meant to be

and you know i will be proud

and if ever you have need of me

just you shout out aloud .

.

think of me with kindness love

as i always will of you

and i'll give thanks to the lord above

for all i shared with you .

and in a little while from now

if things are meant to be

someday soon someway somehow

you will be with me .
