Destiny

I’m so sorry that I grew up too soon
I wont be there for your sons and daughters
To watch their first smiles
To hold them close to my heart
And feel their tiny hands wrap around my finger

I’m so sorry that I have to be here soon
To savor the bittersweet taste of life
To hold someone else instead of you
And wait for the tide to toss me back
To the dream of not-so-far past

Where I can see you waiting for me
Wishing for the time to stand still
Trying to hold on to a season of me and you
Where there are no limits, no boundaries
Just the hand of Destiny.

Oh, Sheri this is so heartfelt. I can feel the anguish in every line. Maybe it's OK to befriend destiny and ask to please take you back somewhere in time where you wanna be...

Love,
Tanya

Destiny...to every one and each of us it has a different form, time and color, and if we listen good...the sound of a promise.

There's sadness in the beautiful verses. Sadness is probably the last freedom in this difficult world. It heals the soul.
