//Jim...your name...is Jim...//
As recognition fills your eyes,
I wonder if you realize
the loss and censure I have faced
to bring you safely to this place--
the fire and death through which I've been,
and private wars I couldn't win...
A comet-star called Enterprise
that blazed in glory through the skies
to share in Genesis' demise...
a new-found son I'll never know,
whose pointless death brings endless woe...
and still to face is Starfleet's wrath;
I've once too often left their path.
Yet, as I see you comprehend,
I still would bear it all again--
it would be worth it in the end--
if I could bring you back, my friend.
//I have been...and ever shall be...your friend.//
