when i can no longer read my favorite book
will you be there to tell me what you remember?
your eyes may already fail you too
but you have read that book too, havent you?
tomorrow
when my voice wont come out no more
when all i can make are faint indiscernable sounds
will you be there for me to call my child
will you tell her i love her and always have
tomorrow
when my hands wont be strong to hold a grip
when climbing the stairs becomes literal
when my feet wont walk farther than three steps
will you bear sit by side? maybe share a story or two
as we pass time?
tomorrow
when pain wont leave my body no more
but bones are too fragile for a thai massage
will your hands be there to softly touch
like you did before to caress my back?
tomorrow
will i know? will you give your answer today?
no i wont hurry you to come, i can manage
on my own today, strength hasnt left me yet
no worries, i will wait for you, i just need to know
tomorrow
will you be there?
