Your Passage

Though it seems amazing,

even to me,

I am not afraid.

Though you face this void

and I can’t be there,

though I can’t take your steps for you,

I am not afraid.

I know the riches you’ll reap

from this passage

are without compare,

and are for you alone —

You will attain them,

you’ll bring them home

Then we will celebrate,

for you will share this with us all —

We’ll be elated,

and you’ll be free and whole.
