Will You Love
Me Forever

The Promise

By Rob Neves

 

I knew you before you were born.

 

I once asked God to show me the Moon. He lent me his moonbeam and held my hand gently. He smiled like a sunset and whispered softly as I stared, "Promise Me only to come back and tell Me what it is that you have learned."
In the wink of an eye and the beat of a heart I was with the rocks through the sand. At the peak of every mountain and canyon there was. When I had finished, I gave God back His moonbeam, and keeping a promise, told Him everything that I saw.

Once I asked God to show me all the stars. He lent me his star dust and held my hand gently. He Smiled like a starry night and whispered softly as I soared, "Promise Me only to come back and tell Me what it is you have learned."
In the beat of a heart and a flicker of a day. I was shimmering in the night sky and twinkling through all of space. I counted every glimmer and chased every star light there was. I gave God back is star dust, and keeping a promise, told him everything that I now knew.

Once I asked God to show me true Love. He lent me a body and held my hand gently. He smiled like a mother's kiss and whispered softly as I grew, "Promise Me only to come Back and tell me what it is you have learned."
In the flicker of a Day and a flash of a lifetime, I was born and I wondered, I conceived and I mothered. I lived and experienced all that there was. When I had finished, I gave God back His body, And keeping a promise told him every thing that I had learned.

His Moon beams showed me sunsets With His star dust I saw Galaxies and His body brought Me closer to you. By keeping my promise I know God is always listening and the real me belongs next to you. And as Long as the stars shine, the moon rises and Love flows I will always be there for you too.

I KNEW YOU EVEN BEFORE YOU WHERE BORN


Forever Promises

Sit down and talk about one thing you can promise each other that will never change, regardless of how old you get, how different you get or mad, sad, happy yu get. Write the promises on two separate pieces of paper. Prepare some plaster of Paris and, in a mold - it can be a fancy mold or as simple as a couple of empty film canaisters - seal the promises. Once the plaster is set, decorate each Foreve Promise. Keep them in a place where you will be able to see them .
