and when he said these words to her,

his eyes fill up with tears:

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.

I'll meet you when my chores are through,

I don't know how long I'll be.

But I'm not gonna let you down,

Baby wait & see.

And between now & then,

till I see you again,

I'll be loving you.

Love,

me.
