My forever promise

I dreamed our story would start in light,
With quiet days and peaceful nights
A picture-perfect, easy flight,
Where love stayed calm and always bright.

I wanted to give you everything
Every hope your heart could sing,
A golden life, a shining ring,
A world without the storms life brings.

But life keeps throwing stones our way,
And battles find us day by day.
I try to help, but pain won’t stay
It drains the strength I meant to give away.

It hurts to feel I’m falling short,
When loving you should be my fort.
You deserve more than life’s cruel sport
A safe place, strong, your last resort.

Still here we stand, through dark and rain,
Holding tight through every strain.
Not perfect, yet we still remain,
Choosing love again and again.

One day I’ll give you all I planned,
The peaceful life we’ll build by hand.
But till that dream is close and near,
I’ll love you loud, year after year
My always, forever, my reason I’m here.
