MY PROMISE
by FAY SHAW OWENS-KINSEY
I MADE A PROMISE LONG AGO,
THAT SHOULD LOVE FIND MY DOOR
I WOULD HOLD IT IN MY HEART,
TO BE MINE FOREVER MORE
TO BE WITH ME IN THOUGHT AND DEED,
IN ALL I SAY AND DO
TO TAKE THE LOVE YOU OFFER,
AND GIVE MY LOVE TO YOU
TO NURTURE IT BY NIGHT AND DAY,
WHERE EVER I MAY GO
TO LOVE YOU TILL THE END OF TIME,
AND FEEL IT DAILY GROW
LOVE, TO ME, IS LIKE A SEED,
IT GROWS FROM DAY TO DAY
WHEN LOVE BECOMES A WAY OF LIFE
IT WILL NEVER FADE AWAY
LOVE HAS FOUND ITS WAY TO ME
AND IT'S GROWING, OH SO FAST
I WILL HOLD ON TO MY PROMISE
AND OUR LOVE WILL ALWAYS LAST
