One Day Poem by Heather Kemper

One day I'll know he means it,
when he tells me that he cares.
One day I'll know he means it,
when he promises he'll always be there.
One day the heart will hear him,
One day God might answer my prayer.
One day there will be no more anger,
to reach me in the night.
One day he won't make me a stranger,
that makes him rise up and fight.
One day he'll believe I love him,
and I pray nothing will tear us apart.
One day I hope is tomorrow,
then all of this will come true.
But if one day is not for a thousand,
I'll stick by him to make it through.
One day I hope I can understand,
why this happened to our family.
One day I hope I understand,
why we have to fight still once again.
One day I hope we can again believe,
in the love we both thought we knew.
I hope one day is always here with you.
