So Shall I Go
Where ever you go, so shall I go.
She said these words,
They consummated the bond.
She was my best-friend, my companion.
She was my lover, my wife.
Our minds, our bodies, our souls
would remain intertwined.
And so they did.
Until death we did part.
Where ever you go, so shall I go.
I said those words,
but could not make it so.
The babies we had made,
They needed me more than ever.
So I searched and found another
and then another.
Both, and finally neither, could
give or receive that pledge.
For it was the first
with whom I wished, and do still,
to honour the pledge.
And yet, still there are the children.
One now grown and the other nearly so.
And yet the day will come,
Surely it will come and I will go.
Together we can again
Continue to honour our pledge.
Till then, I know not, whether it can be found.
But search I do still.
If not another lover, companion, best-friend,
at least perhaps a pal, a buddy, a chum.
