MIZPAH
Go thou thy way, and I go mine,
Apart, yet not afar;
Only a thin veil hangs between
The pathways where we are.
And ” God keep watch ‘tween thee and me;”
This is my prayer,
He looks thy way, He looketh mine,
And keeps us near.
I know not where thy road may lie,
Or which way mine will be;
If mine will lead thro’ parching sands
And thine beside the sea;
Yet God keep watch ‘tween thee and me,
So never fear;
He holds thy hands, He claspeth mine,
And keeps us near.
Should wealth and fame perchance be thine,
And my lot lowly be,
Or you be sad and sorrowful,
And glory be for me,
Yet God keep watch ‘tween thee and me;
Both be His care,
One arm round thee and one round me
Will keep us near.
I sigh sometimes to see thy face,
But since this may not be,
I’ll leave thee to the care of Him
Who cares for thee and me.
“I’ll keep you both beneath my wings,”
This comforts, dear;
One wing o’er thee and one o’er me,
Will keep us near.
And though our paths be separate,
And thy way is not mine,
Yet coming to the mercy seat,
My soul will meet with thine.
And “God keep watch ‘tween thee and me,”
I’ll whisper there,
He blesseth thee, He blesseth me
And we are near.

A walk down memory lane - I was young and in love when I found out about this poem which I gave to someone I was strongly infatuated. Yes, I was all the way gaga over someone! 
Present -I did not marry that guy, I married someone I truly love! 
Trivia - this poem was inspired by a verse written in the Bible “Gen 31:49>> And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.”
