A Promise Poem by d matthew cahill

This man knows fear but is not afraid to embrace it
This man is nobody's fool but is the first to act foolishly
This man has seen the worst men have to offer but only sees
Hope in you
This man has been to the other side of the world and though you were not there
Looking back you were there all along
This man does not know what brings tomorrow but knew the instant he saw you that nothing
Would ever be the same
This man will kneel before his God and beg forgiveness but will not forgive himself
If you do not know
Love
