just in case i don't cross the bridge
between today and tomorrow
please remember that
i love you.
just in case i'm not there
when you've tried your best
to earn my respect
and a distant word of praise
please remember
i was proud of you from day zero.
just in case you can't see my face
or even recall the sound of my voice
as the days roll like waves across your life
please remember
i was there with you once
and when my face brightened
or my voice laughed
it was all because of you.
i want you to know this
in your heart:
remember it:
time and accidents and the world
are all distractions
and when you've returned from them
sometimes think of me.
i'll be the ground that rises up
to touch your feet,
and the air and the light
that breathes you and warms you.
i'll be the love
that, after all,
is the only thing that matters.
