A Promise

When I look into your eyes,
I see my father looking back
He smiles and comforts me
Through you I can truly see
Only you and him I could bring myself to love
And though he’s gone. . .he is present
A taste of the love I have missed so long
But now in a different style
Your smile. . .that beautiful smile
Brings me back to the memories of joy
He stood beside me. . .I was just a little boy
And he left me long ago
With a promise
He said there is always hope in every period of our lives
The hardest thing to do is grasp onto it
And accept it. . .and nurture it. . .fulfill it
You are my hope
You were sent by my father
I owe you everything
And I will love you and change
That’s a promise
There is a hope I have come to grasp
And I mean to fulfill it
