A Promise

The minute you're born
A countdown begins,
Fate holds the keys
As death keeps you in.

You want me to promise
The moon and the stars,
But I can give little
Where promises are.

My love do you have
With care and devotion
And unsettling days
That are full of emotion.

I can give you
All that I have
And try to provide
All that you ask.

The minute I tell you
My life is all yours,
The lie would be seen
And me you would curse.

So hold tight to the memories
Created each day
And bottle the smiles
That come when they may.

Remember the closeness
You feel in your heart,
The flame made for me
Lit in the dark.

Only then
Can I promise to you
A life that was mine
Belongs now to you.
