My Vow to You

When all the world has left you
And you’re standing all alone
When neither friend nor foe
Arrives to take you home;
When the brightest day
And the darkest night
Have merged into a whole
And offer you nothing but
The silence of the lost
And you have the leading role.

I will be there to hold you
To lift your spirit up
To caress you and embrace you
I’m there to fill your cup;
Together we will face it all
Together we will try
And if we cannot prevent a fall
Together we will die.

Hand in hand united
We will sail to the limits of time
The treasure of our caring
The gift of love sublime;
It is our journey to keep or lose
A gift we share unspoken
But this promise is mine alone to keep
And it will not be broken.
