after Michael Blumenthal
One day
the time will come
when I am able to be strong for you,
just like you’re being strong for me now.
The time will come
when I do your shopping for you,
and all the things around the house,
and wipe your tears for you,
and sit next to you holding your hand,
just like you’re doing for me now.
I promise you
I don’t take any of this for granted.
One day (I can’t say when)
the time will come
when I hold up the roof for you,
leaving you to take your arms down
to rest for a while.
Yes that time will surely come,
and it will surely be a gift.
Joshua Seigal
