but I will promise you rainbows.

I won't promise you that your fingers will never be pricked by thorns,

but I will promise to help you find the rose.

I won't promise you that tears will never streak your face,

but I will promise to kiss the tears away.

I won't promise you that darkness will never again fall,

but I will promise you sunlight with a new day.

I won't promise you that you will always be able to find your way,

but I will promise to be your guide.

I won't promise you that I will grant every request you make,

but I will promise to remain by your side.

I won't promise you that your heart will never be broken,

but I will promise to bring the glue.

I won't promise you that everyone you love will feel the same,

but I will promise to always love you.

That is My promise.

Love, God
