I Promise Poem by Alen Alexander

I Promise

Rating: 5.0


I kept screaming
Not letting you sleep
All I did was fuss, I remember
How bad I was, now I weep

You wouldn’t let go
Until I was asleep
U cared for me more
Like a shepherd’s care for his sheep

Little I was then
Grown I am now
Stupid I was, and learnt
To not make those mistakes again, I vow

Mother, you worked
And protected me, under your care’s sheet
I stand here now alone,
But like your dream, now on my feet

You aren’t here anymore
But I keep wishing and praying still
How wonderful it would have been
If you were here seeing your dream fulfill

Mom, I promise
I’ll be living like how you said
Grateful those cause of who am living,
Working and sleeping, peacefully on this bed
