promise

i do not promise to love you always
but i promise to stand by you always
to be there when you need me
to listen to you when you need to tlk
to laugh with you
when the laughter becomes overwhelming
to sing with you when the silence becomes too much
to give you a shoulder to lean on
to be your pillar of strength
when the tempest turns sour
to wipe ypur tears through the pain
to love you always and forever
to have a heart that will never tire
that.... I promise.
