The Promise

I can't promise you caviar or champagne dreams,
What I can promise is what to me Love means,
That is a friend by your side,
Someone that will walk with you and show pride,
Someone that will back your every play,
And not worry what others have to say,
Someone that will help you build,
And find all that life can yield,
Someone that will help you through,
All that you decide to do,
Someone that will hold you close when you cry,
And help you find the answer to why,
Someone that will always care,
Any time and any where,
Someone that will back you even if your wrong,
Someone to show you that Love is really strong,
It's about a 50/50 split,
Not what one of us alone can get,
It's not about flipping a card,
But it's 2 people working hard,
It's not about the husband and wife,
It's about sharing a life,
You have to worry not,
The space around you I have got,
If they want to get to you,
I am the one they must get through,
Accept this if you can,
Then believe me I am your man!
