The Promise
For years my mom was my best friend
Through thick and thin I'd helped her mend
Her every need and want I'd tend
Vowed I'd stay until the end
And by her side both day and night
Not one moment out of sight
Cried and sang and held her tight
Praying she would be alright
The promise I would not forsake
Watching every breath she'd take
Fighting through my own heartbreak
Of knowledge that she'd never wake
The last thing we would ever share
She finally knew and was aware
The depth of just how much I care
How loved she was cause I was there.
