if you wondered...
baby, it was always you
we said forever
shared a love faithful and true
*
fell for your promise
where you go, I'll go there too
in your embrace
here together, me and you
*
in your reflection
see myself inside your eyes
this one connection
I've waited for you all my life
*
I want to stay this way
until we fade away
*
if I go before you, promise darling
please don't cry
I'll be there waitin' honey
waitin' on the other side
*
through life and death
I will always be your bride
and you'll be mine
baby, through the end of time

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.

Lovely! We have decided we must go into the spirit world together! 😁😇
All I can say is 'Just Beautiful'. One should use this in Couples and Marriage therapy groups.
