You are far away – in Canada,
So far from my own heart.
Your children truly need you,
You must not be apart.

Your eyes are set on raising them,
My eyes are set on you.
You have the values I seek in life,
The girl of dreams come true.

In all of this you ask “please wait”,

Until they fly away…
Precious years of this brief life,
Years of love now held at bay.

You are far – in Canada.
Far away from my own home.
Your children truly need you,
So I must go on – alone.
