I Promise

Dorothy R. Colgan

I promise to give you the best of myself
and to ask of you no more than you can give.

I promise to respect you as your own person
and to realize that your interests, desires and needs
are no less important than my own. I promise to share with you my time and my attention
and to bring joy, strength and imagination to our relationship.

I promise to keep myself open to you,
to let you see through the window of my world
into my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams. I promise to grow along with you,
to be willing to face changes in order to keep
our relationship alive and exciting.

I promise to love you in good times and bad,
with all I have to give and all I feel inside
in the only way I know how,
completely and forever.

I was on the web site trying to find a poem So that I could get an general idea of one to write for my soon to be husbend, whitch is the love of my Life and my bestfriend.
Whom ever you wrote this one for, I just wanted to add you did a great job and I bet that it brought them to tears because it did me, everything you said in this poem is what I would love to be able to say in my own words to my husbend. Great job! I give you a 10.

this poem really touched my heart,it is my prayer that persons reading this would understand to some degree what the writer wanted to say, too often we hide ourselves from the ones we love the most and then wonder what's the problem.This poem challenges me to be a better wife, lover, friend.It's my desire to live the words you've so beautifully written. Congrats, Claudia
