I Promise

 I promise you will get through this.  I promise that you will heal.

            I promise I am with you and we will transcend this ordeal.

I promise you will get through this.  I promise.  Take my hand.

            I promise you Heaven on Earth.  Looking back, you’ll understand.

One step back.  Two steps forward.  You are moving.  Don’t despair.

            Two steps back.  Four steps forward.  You are truly almost there.

I promise your heart’s desires and love times infinity.

            I promise you peace and contentment.  I promise you clarity. 

I promise you bliss and wholeness.  I promise your dreams will come true.

            I promise you a party celebrating a soul that grew. 

One step back.  Two steps forward.  You are moving.  Don’t despair.

            Two steps back.  Four steps forward.  You are truly almost there.
