Before I Die.....
By night, I watch the stars, hoping to see a ship come forth.
By day, I turn my gaze to the clear blue sky,
only to see nothing but the twin suns.
The suns above me.......but do you remember me, my son?
Do you remember the way you used to cling securely to me, your mother?
My life has changed so much, but has your's?
Have you become the keeper of peace that you dreamed to be an eternity ago?
You said we will meet again......
I pray that your childhood promise comes true.
Why have you not come?
Is death what broadens the gap between you and I?
Or are you protecting the lives of the innocent,
seeing the galaxy as you vowed to?
Yes, that is it, I refuse to believe otherwise.
Now, my son, I am the one who needs your care.
In my mind's eye, I see you as a man,
but in my heart, you will always be my little boy,
my little Ani......
Please come to me, Anakin.
I want to see you one last time before I leave this prison of flesh and bone.
I want to see you one last time.......
before I die

Of course...this is Shmi's thoughts...as she was in captivity by the Tusken raiders!!
