I Promise

William John Goodson 1972 (Apalachicola , Florida)



 
I promise ,
To honor and cherish you .
My love shall never cease .

I promise ,
To always be faithful .
You can count on me .

I promise ,
To love you ,
Till the stars no longer shine .

I promise ,
To love you ,
Till the very end of time .

About this poem

I haven't written anything in years and then I met someone that would forever change my life and turn my world upside down. That person was Elizabeth Ann Colon , the love of my life .
