I PROMISE


Perhaps you can tell me
What does it mean,
I was not asleep
I did not dream.


The house was quiet
There wasn't a sound,
I was alone in the room
It was just before dawn.


Then came a light
With a crimson glow,
I layed very still
I didn't want it to go.


I always ask favours
Of God up above,
I'll try to do better
And give much more love.


I ask for small blessings
And to keep in good health,
I ask for good friends
And a small bit of wealth.


And on this dark morning
Two words I did hear,
The words "I Promise"
Still ring in my ears.


Where did they come from
These words soft, and low,
I don't need to explain it
Because I think that you know.
