     I’LL BE BACK

            GOTTA GO
  IT’S TIME FOR THAT.
     BUT I’LL BE BACK.
           TIME TO GO.
       I FEEL THE CALL.
         REMEMBER IT?
 YES, STANDING TALL.
          CAUSE I DID
          ALL I COULD.

     AND THAT’S NOT ALL.
             SHE’S GOOD.
     THAT WAS THE CALL.
HANDING OFF TO DRAGONFLY,
         A CROWN OF JOY.

    SHE’S MINE, NOT MINE.
         HER JOY’S DIVINE.
    WITH DOUBLE WINGS,
             SHE’S OUT,
        A JOYFUL SHOUT!

        FOR ALL SHE IS, 
       MINE, NOT MINE.
     YES, I’LL BE BACK
       KNOWING THAT
            SHE’S FINE.
