The Promise

We shall pass through a million phases

Some might be colorful, others may be blue

No matter how tough the times are

I promise, I'll be there for you

Everything now seems to be fine

The old comforts and we welcome the new

When new beginnings may not start right

I promise, I'll be there for you

A lot of things may be thrown at us

If situations get difficult to get through

My hand will remain entwined in yours

I promise, I'll be there for you

Some people may not trust you sometimes

When fingers are pointed and suspicions brew

I shall negate all of them in a blink

I promise, I'll be there for you

If you are broke and totally clueless

If a day comes where you have nothing to do

I shall give you all I have

I promise, I'll be there for you

When your mind is baffled with piercing questions

When you have no one to speak to

I shall help you break the shackles

I promise, I'll be there for you

If our kids do not listen to what you say

Failing to see your point of view

I'll stand there nodding to your every word

I promise, I'll be there for you

If we are neglected by our own family

To it, if you want to bid adieu

I shall pack our bags together

I promise, I'll be there for you

When we grow old, things shall be difficult

It shall be tough to dye your hair or chew

I shall help you get past all with a smile

I promise, I'll be there for you

When we are all wrinkled and almost blind

Of our life, we shall remain the two people crew

Till the day I shall be laid to rest

I promise, I'll be there for you
