Hurry! My future,
I am anxious to know you.
Who will drift into my life,
and who will leave?
Will there be joy?
I hope there is joy.
I know there will be sadness,
but please, not more than I can bear.
No! Don't hurry.
Come slowly,
each chapter unfolding,
and the next.
and the next.
Until, all the characters have played their parts.
Each having touched my life,
and I, theirs.
