I Promise You
I will lift you through a prayer.
I will show you snowshoe hare.
I will give you thoughtful care.
I will shape your comfort lair. I will treat you good and fair.
I will lead you through the night.
I will help you make stuff right.
I will keep you safe from fright.
I will flood your morning light. I will hold you near and tight.
I will find you through a dream.
I will churn you rich ice cream.
I will choose you for the team.
I will parse your basic theme. I will buy you lot and stream.
I will play you through a part.
I will love you from the start.
I will sculpt you like fine art.
I will fix your broken heart. I will cut you egg and dart.
I will get you through the deep.
I will lend you to sweet sleep.
I will take you in one sweep.
I will cause your joy to leap. I will see you sew and reap.
