A Promise
a knowing look, familiar eyes
as you watch over me
a little nudge in the right direction
you see more than me
and i appreciate it
an encouragement, a friend
you're there for us, you were there for me
you knew the right from all the wrong
you saw more than me
and i believe in this
kept me strong, kept us steady
watched me silently but readily
making sure that i am okay
you knew more than me
you guided me
taught me the rights from all of the wrongs
taught me respect and value
showed me that love & family
makes everything alright
you showed me more in me
having faith in me
even now you guide me
as i still feel strong
and nothing has changed
i know my rights and i know my wrongs
because you have taught me well
and i promise to pass this on.
