For Pam

There are stars overhead that are awesome
There are days when a song sparkles anew
There are times when a friend offers comfort
But none half as well as you do.

I've traveled this world for a better tomorrow
To find the peace we are due
I crossed the Alps and other grand places
Without needing to say an adieu.

Now I know that tomorrow's a fiction
And peace is an unending stream
So I take the best that life offers
Like the lure of an unstoppable dream.

They say that we all choose our parents
That's a tale supremely sublime
But if I had it to do it in reverse order
I'd choose you every time.
