“The Promise”



If I had nothing to my name

But photographs of you

Rescued from the flames

That is all I would ever need

As long as I can read

What’s written on your face

The strength that shines

Behind your eyes

The hope and light

That will never die



And one promise you made

one promise that always remains

No matter the price

A promise to survive

Persevere and thrive

As we’ve always done



And you said

“The poison in a kiss

Is the lie upon the lips”

Truer words were never shared

When I feel

Like lies are all I hear

I pull my memories near

The one thing they can’t take



And one promise you made

one promise that always remains

No matter the price

A promise to survive

Persevere and thrive

As you’ve always done
