My Promise

I promise to love you
unconditionally
I promise to hear you
and listen
I promise to be there for you
an advocate for you
I promise to protect you
as a mother should
I promise to wait for you
not leave you behind
I promise to nurture you
as a gardner nutures the seed
You will grow stronger each day
with the light you shine
You will grow wiser each day
with the love you can give
