for the best

perhaps it is for the best,

that I never knew you,

you never knew me;

I would like to think your

life has been better as a result;

I can only hope that

you are happy,

that your life has been full,

that you've grown up

to be a good man,

a good father;

this is the only gift

I can give to you;

we shall meet one day,

in another time,

another place,

I will know your face,

you will know mine;

I will be waiting.
