A Parents Promise

will you promise to never leave me
promise to always be there when needed
promise to love me because im there
just think about it

but promise not to say no

promise you will never go away
promise you wont leave me in the dark
promise not to give up on me

i know im asking alot
maybe even the impossible

but promise to never yell
and smile alot instead

promise to have fun and stay safe
tell me you can promise
maybe not all but some

 

promise to protect me
and keep me safe
make sure im not sick
and to get help when things get rough

 

promise not to lie about the important stuff
promise not to keep me in the dark
promise to tell me whats going on
so i wont worry to much

 

these are the promises that i need to hear
but if you know you wont keep them
then dont promise anything
