Dear knowledge, I’m wooing you.
Dear understanding, I’m seeking you.
Dear wisdom, I’m wedding you.
Dear fear, I’m divorcing you.
Dear courage, I’m courting you.
Dear hope, I’m pursuing you.
Dear love, I’m marrying you.
Dear past, I survived you.
Dear present, I’m ready for you.
Dear future, I’m longing for you.
Dear destiny, I’m coming for you.”
