My Promise

When you were growing inside my womb, I promised no pain and to keep you from harm, And then you were born into a painful life and I realized the promise was an impossible one. So now that you've grown into a young lady I give you this promise, please remember it daily. I PROMISE to be there when your head hurts too bad and to always see your beauty even when you're mad. I PROMISE to fight for your right to be here and to hold your hand through all that you fear. I PROMISE to give you the tools that you need and to be a good person so you can follow my lead. I PROMISE to be positive and expect the best and make you laugh when you deal with the rest. I PROMISE to hug you whenever you need one, I PROMISE to kiss you when life isn't fun. I PROMISE to hold you when you're puking like crazy and to listen closely when your speech is hazy. I PROMISE to be there waiting for you everytime you have to go to the operating room I PROMISE to remember that no matter what I do I'll never understand what it's like to be you. I PROMISE to be there for you in every way and lastly to love you for FOREVER AND A DAY.
