Sharing Life

 

She asked if we could share a dream,

But there were few left on my shelf.

She said she would grant me one of hers,

As she had enough of them herself.

 

I accepted her offer on certain condition

That it be returned if ever required.

When I inspected the gift she had given,

I realised the man that she desired.

 

He would be brave enough to receive her love,

Strong enough to carry her heart.

Wise enough to know when to listen,

And humble enough to remember his part.

 

She insisted she would never want it back

As if she knew what lay ahead.

She saw enough of our future,

That no more needed to be said.
