Love Poem: My Promise

My Promise

I cannot buy you a house near the ocean
But I will build you a home deep inside
I cannot paint on your heart my devotion
But I can promise you a portrait in the sky

I will never be the leader of many men
But I shall follow the hearts of the humble
And I will never be perfect, free of sin
But I will splendor in my faith , should I stumble

I cannot adorn you with diamonds and gold
To shine like the sparkle in your eyes
But I can promise this heart that I hold,
Will be yours till the day that I die

I cannot travel to the past to change tomorrow
For the future, it is hidden in the stars
And if I run out of words, I shall borrow,
The kindness that is written in your heart

My promise is to hold you  just enough that you will know
I will never let go of you, and the heart will never end
As long as it beats while we dance so very close
And the moment shares each memory with its everlasting kiss
