"I Promise You"

 I can't promise you

that dark clouds

will never hover

over our lives

or that the futures

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 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 my crisis,

and pray with you,

dream with you,

build with you,

and always cheer on you on

and encourage you.

I can promise you that

I'll willingly be your protector,

your adviser, your counselor,

your friend, your family,

your everything.

I promise you.
