A Promise I Can Keep


Must today be filled with words I cannot live?

Might I simply tell you the truth instead?

I have nothing to offer you, but what I am.

Weakling human trying to get by.


You are my world, yet,

I fall short even in my own eyes.

How will I ever stand up to the test of time

Called Love.


Still, I will give you all I have

Even when I come up short

And I will stand with you

In all your circumstance.


Today, I burn the list of my

Conditions for unconditional love

And place my hand

And heart in yours

To walk as best I can.
