I Promise (1170 hits)


I promise to always love me in excess
No matter what others think of me, speak of me
or do to me I will love me none the less.

I promise to the best of my ability to fulfill my destiny
being a wonderful mother, good friend and someday loving wife,
touching souls near and far giving the best of me.

I promise to stand up and firm for what I believe
lending a hand and ear to those in need
giving voice to those who aren't ready to speak.

I promise to never keep the secrets of a man who hurts me or doesn't support my goals,
who goes out of his way to be hateful and mean,
yet I will cherish and respect the man who honors me as a queen
and is not afraid to let the world know.

I promise to continuously move forward in life growing to heights unknown,
life is about hope, faith love and change so I'm living it to the fullest
learning things daily, caring, giving and passing on blessings sown.

What do you promise yourself?!

Linda I so appreciate you stopping by and taking to read my writing, you finding it enjoyable is just another blessing.
Your promise to self is beautiful. I think we all have had times when we let past failures cloud the vision of our future successes.
I'm going to take a mental note of your promise and also add it to my list. I'm not ashamed to say that I've been hesitant before about things based on the past.

Thanks for passing me a blessing!

Ohhh Bonita you've said a mouthful sis...
I love the idea of you saying I will "NOT LET NO ONE MAKE ME WHAT THEY WANT ME TO BE"!!! That was profound. So many times as women being nurturers by nature we forget about us and allow others to sway us into conforming to what they want us to be. I find so much strength in your words and I will definitely be adding to my list.

Love Ya~
