I (don't) promise

 

I don't promise it won't hurt;

I don't promise you won't cry;

I don't promise it will be easy;

I don't promise it will make sense;

I don't promise all the answers;

I don't promise the entire picture;

I don't promise, but this I promise

 

I promise to truly love you;

I promise to never leave you;

I promise to feed, clothe and shelter you;

I promise to comfort you;

I promise to shield you;

I promise to keep you;

I promise to redeem you;

I promise to restore you;

I promise to correct you;

I promise to teach you; 

I promise to favor you;

I promise to be faithful to you;

I promise to be kind to you;

I promise to be gracious to you;

I promise to be gentle with you;

I promise to be patient with you;

I promise to walk with you;

I promise to cry with you;

I promise to be with you, forever.
