The Promise

Darling Lila, I promise
Nothing we did will be lost or forgotten
I will carry this pain proudly,and with strength
For it is the deal we make with God -
"the joy then, the pain now"
And in time
I will feel
the joy overcome the sore well of grief
that today, is my heart.

I will be well
I will remember
I will carry on
I will laugh and be silly
I will make huge piles of dog food
Sleep in the afternoon
Exercise twice a day
Cherish my pack
Keep your toys safe
Lie on the floor regularly
Howl at the Moon

and above all
I will find you.

I promise.
