My Word, My Bond

"My Word, My Bond"

There were days I lost the fight  
Chasing wrong instead of right  
Bad habits pulling at my soul  
Stress and anger taking hold  

I slipped, I stumbled, broke and bled  
I doubted every word I said  
Yet through the wreckage and the rain  
You stood beside me in my pain  

You saw the man I tried to hide  
You stayed when others left my side  
You held my heart with patient hands  
You taught me how to rise again  

You trusted me when trust was thin  
You loved me when I could not win  
You never asked for more than truth  
You never gave up on my youth  

And now I stand before your eyes  
No fear, no mask, no more disguise  
I make this vow and speak it strong  
My word is bond, it won't go wrong  

I promise you with all I am  
To be your shelter and your man  
To never break, to never fall  
To stand for us through every wall  

For every time you held me near  
For every fight you fought through fear  
I thank you now with all my soul  
With you, at last, I am made whole  

I love you

Lev
