I Dream Because I Can

The time is drawing near,

and I grow excited, eager

and full of anticipation, 

I think ahead to my time with you 

which will fly by as it always does.

I dream of holding your hand,

I dream of hugs at will,

I dream of tousled hair.

And I grow excited...

I'm going to meet my mother.

I'm going to put an end 

to a lifelong mystery,

because I can,

because I should,

because I will.

I, am excited, and I know

you are too.
