My Promise.

The snow lay across the land

White and pure; an angelic band.

Twinkle lights warm the home

Heating not yet fills the room.

Christmas morning with the Christmas chill –

Snuggling back under the duvet, cot caring for the bill.

Seeing you awake – I know its time

To give you my promise before I stand in line.

As I give you my promise I say I love you

As you open the paper your hands shake as you do,

This is my promise, this is my love

I give you my promise I give you my heart

I promise to always return

By foot, coffin or Urn.
