My Commitment

We swam the river of distrust & doubt
Bathing in its treacherous waters acting like lovers
Two people who thought they knew what they were about
Only to find themselves apart in a sea of black wonders

One day through hoping and praying
That the trust lost will be regained
Through understanding, faith, and trying
We will once again have our love claimed

This is my commitment to you,
This is my devotion to us
This is me laid bare and true
This will be our life this and thus
