Sky

Shannon Jenkins

                                             Sky  

The sky is the limit for everything we do.
Sweetheart, the sky is the limit for me and for you!
I’ll stand by your side and I promise to hold your hand but, the question in my head is Are you a good man?
I’m a very good woman and I’ll always demand respect.
I deserve only the best; never will I settle for less.
I want you to know, before I say goodbye, that all of your answers rest in the sky.  
Believe in me for I will believe in you, never forget  the sky is the limit for everything  We do!
