Our Promise

A poem I wrote for our daughter three weeks before she was born.

Angels watching over you
each time you rest your head,
bring us so much comfort
as we stand beside your bed.

Not knowing what the future holds,
what tears or joys may be,
mom and dad will be here,
just watch and you will see.

Times may come when we will fail
or let you down it seems,
but we will be beside you
as you strive to live your dreams.

We'll be there with encouragement,
with words of hope and cheer,
and never one despairing word
throughout your life-long years.

No matter what may come your way
whether it be good or bad,
you'll find you always have in us
a loving mom and dad.
