Promises

Vow to dream even when darkness fills the mind,
Vow to get lost but never hard to find.
Vow to create your own destiny,
Vow to look at the beauty in anything that seems ugly.
Vow to believe in the talents you possess,
Vow to understand life is not a quickie, yet a process.
Vow to disregard any envy toward the next man,
Vow to always, if needed, lend a helping hand.
Vow to cry only tears of joy,
Vow to grow into a man and leave the behind being a boy.
Vow to make those believe in you simile,
For greatness, vow to walk the extra mile.
Vow to only think as if there was no pain,
Vow to only believe the sun always comes after the rain.
Vow to cover up through the storm of adversity,
Vow to take heed that the foundation begins with family.
Vow to give this unpredictable life your all,
Vow to slip but never fall.
Vow to touch determination with the hand that quits,
Vow to grab indecisiveness with the hand that commits.
Vow to only fear what does not exist,
Vow to only see the bright light amongst the thick mist.
Vow to never fold,
I vow to never let my story go untold.
