A Wedding Promise

"The world is big out there so put your hand in mine.
When you are hungry, I will feed you.
If you're cold, I will warm you.
If you're sick, I will nurse you.
and if you meet with trouble, big or small, I'll stand by you, come what may.

When you speak, I will listen.
When you offer me gifts, I will thank you.
When you do well, I will praise you.
If perils and dangers come near you, I'll stand by your side and battle them away.
And if you're scared of a nameless fear, I'll hold you in my arms and protect you.
I promise that I will never harm you, or threaten you, or frighten you.
And if you should ever do me wrong, I'll try my best to forgive you.
When you're sad, I'll cry with you. When you're happy, I'll laugh with you.
I'll show you where beauty is, and we'll walk there together.
And when all the promises are made, there's still one more. I promise that I'll love you, whatever may befall."
