I wonder where we’ll be in a year 

I wonder if all my insecurities will have disappeared 

I envision myself a strong fortress, a defender, a warrior 

You, a princess 

I’ll do anything for

You’ll probably be oblivious to the monsters outside the door

Over time I imagine you’ll show me they’re not even real 

In no time we’ll be in the front yard doing cart wheels 

I’m sure your hair will be bright blonde like me and your father’s was when we were little

And we can’t wait to hear you giggle 

The way time’s moving, you’ll be grown soon

Take time to look at the stars and the moon 

There’s ample time for everything 

Wait for your king 

You are precious 

Don’t sweat life’s messes 

Come on, let’s grow and explore 

You’re already loved and known

Got me out of my comfort zone 

.Into the wilderness 

In time we’ll welcome you 

Let me pack for now, my princess
