I Promise

Perhaps you can tell me What does it mean, I was not asleep I did not dream. The house was quiet There wasn't a sound, I was alone in the room It was just before dawn. Then came a light With a crimson glow, I layed very still I didn't want it to go. I always ask favours Of the one up above, I'll try to do better And give much more love. I ask for small blessings, And to keep in good health I ask for good friends And a small bit of wealth. And on this dark morning Two words I did hear, The words "I promise" Still ring in my ear. Where did they come from These words soft and low, I don't want to explain it But I think that I know. Lynn Barany
