Dear Shall-Be by Gita Banerji (Theme: When I am Hopeful)

this is a special time 

     for you and i,

  flesh of my flesh:

we will never be more closely bonded together.

i can never hold you more tightly

                    nestle you more nearly

                    envelop you more completely.

we are each other’s compass:

    i am your north, your south, your east & west

    you are my pole:

                                 my direction is set by your irresistible force.

  i am a ship calmly sailing

                                                in serene seas

  a vessel with a precious cargo in the hold.

i will steer a clear path

   so you can be lulled by the susurrating waters…

Dear Shall-Be

     i wonder what you will-be

     you replace all the might-have-beens

     i will multiply your could-bes

     you are my must-be
