I shall love you
when it isn't convenient.
I shall listen
though I don't understand.
I shall share your
tears
and my laughter
with you.
I shall stand by you
though standing may be difficult.
I shall smile with you
when tears would
more easily come.
I shall not blame
you for the hard times
nor claim the credit
for the good.
I will speak well
of you
when others don't.
I will hold you up
when you're ready
to fall.
My days and nights
will belong
only to you.
My steps will
shadow only
yours.
My eyes will seek
your eyes alone
and I will whisper
my secrets
to none but you.
And when we are old,
I will tell you
I love you. |
