This day...I walked out with you
Sure, secure in the knowledge
You would not let me down.
I walked with you promising myself
To nurture you until my end.
You have been my promise
And hope, my faith and my journey
I have walked the path with you
A path which never forked
Never have I stalled to doubt
The hands which had reached out
To wipe my tears and lift my soul
This day, fifteen years hence
The journey has reached the twilight
Of age and experience and respect
Another has begun, into the sunset
My promise to myself stays
We shall walk together into the sun.
