I Promise You

I can’t promise you

that dark clouds

will never hover

over our lives

or that the future

will bring us many rainbows.

I can’t promise you

that tomorrow

will be perfect

or that life will be easy.

I can promise you

my everlasting devotion,

my loyalty, my respect,

and my unconditional love for a lifetime.

I can promise that

I’ll always be here for you,

to listen and to hold your hand,

and I’ll always do my best to make you happy,

and make you feel loved.

I can promise that

I’ll see you through any crisis,

and pray with you,

dream with you,

build with you,

and always cheer you on

and encourage you.

I can promise that

I’ll willingly be your protector,

your advisor, your counselor,

your friend, your family,

your everything.

I promise you.
