My Promises To you..

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

MY PROMISES TO YOU

I can not promise you the world
Even if I could deliver it to you
I can not promise you the heaven
Even if I could grant it out of the blue
I can't promise what I could not give you
Just one thing,
What I can give; that I promise

I can not promise you the easy road
Even If it was all paved!
I can not promise you a light load
Even if I carried it all by myself
I can't promise, what I don't have
Just one thing,
What I can give; that I promise!

I can not promise you all the pleasures
Even if I could take all the pains,
I can not promise you all the treasures,
Even if I could dig all the mines
I can't promise you, what I don't have
Just one thing,
What I can give; that I promise!

I said, just one thing;

I promise to love you tenderly,
Hold you dearly, and kiss you passionately,

I promise to be there always,
Thorough the days, and in so many ways,

I promise to hold your hand,
Walking on the sand, even to the end

I promise to love you totally,
Make you happy absolutely,
Making love to you exceptionally,
Incredibly, intimately, and willingly,
Voluntarily, thoughtfully, and thoroughly,
Quietly, noisily, and sensationally,
Perfectly and ABSOLUTELY
TOTALLY YOURS!

If you only promise me
Just one thing.

MY PROMISE

When time comes you find yourself in deep trouble
Like a ship lost in the mid-sea during a storm
You want to cry and need a shoulder to lean on
Seem hopeless and could not move on...
Got no one around whom to count on.

You might be surprised when you turn your back
See me smile with open arms and extended hands
For unlike them whom you prefer to be with than me
I'll never give up...

Turn my back on you.
I'll be your candle
Offer you light so you may not stumble
Take my hand...
I'll lead you to a place where you will be safe from harm
Keep you company so won't be alone
Promise you love and comfort of a home.

Are u sure of ur promise to me?


Will your promises last, as long as I live?
Will your promises stay, and keep my heart alive
Will your promises soar and make our union strive
Tell me the length of your promise and I'll promise u mine.

Will you be there whenmy bones start shaking?
Will you be there when my hair starts dropping?
Will you be there when my face starts wrinkle-ling?
Tell me the length of your promise and I'll promise u mine.

Will you keep your promise when snow comes our way?
Will you keep your promise when heat finds our way?
Will you keep your promise when wind blows me away?
Tell me the length of your promise and I'll promise u mine.

Will you hold that promise and love me like no other?
Will you stick to that promise and treat me more than ur mother?
Will you keep that promise and lead me like a teacher?
Tell me the length of your promise and I'll promise u mine.

Will u hold me fondly
Will u hold me dearly?
Will u touch me tenderly?
Will u keep ur promise?

Will I be your best friend?
will we never pretend?
To make this promise ascend?
Will we make quarrels end?
Will u keep the promise?

From now and forever,
As long as the sun shines
It is now or never
My promises are true
from eternity to eternity
Like deep calling to deep
On this face that weep
All the promises I'll keep


My promises to you
Are always true
not matter what comes around
I'll always come through
In times of joy, and times of pain
u alone I will enjoy, this is certain
If you only promise me

Just one thing!

U have promised many things, but gave a condition
U have promised sweet life, and showed no objection
U have promised a heavenly life, full of attraction
I promise u only this, my small fragile heart

I may not be the best of the ones u see
I may not be the least of the ones you meet
But I can give u the sweetest of the things u dread
I promise u only this, my small fragile heart

Your tears I will wipe and make u the happiest
Your arms I won't escape and go to the east
Your heart I'll envelope like a bird in a nest
I promise u only this, my small fragile heart

kinyau.
