Promise

Little Faith, Little Joy,

This is for you.

Today I make a promise,

I make a promise to you.

I will work hard to give you

All the things you need.

I will work hard to give you

Much of what you want.

I will never let another hurt you.

And I will teach you how not to get hurt.

I will protect you from that which you fear,

And show you how not to be afraid.

I will scold you when need to be scolded,

And praise you when you deserve to be praised.

I will do my best to serve as your role model.

I will do my best to show you the right way,

Through action and example.

I will teach you what I know

And I will show you how to learn more.

Through it all,

I will do my best, to be the best for you.

My dear Faith, My dear Joy,

This is the promise Mommy make to you.
