I Promise

I'd carry you to safety
Walking demon infested trails
I'd lift you until exhausted
Above the surface
Of the crashing flood
And of all travails
I'd carry you
Until my flesh gave up
Until I died from trying
I'd carry you
With my flawed flesh
And tired arms
To save you
To protect you from any harm
I promise
I'd never let you fall
My word is my bond
I'd carry you until I died
You'd be safe
I'd be your castle
I'd be the wall
I'd be the mountain
I'd heed your call
I am not immortal
I am not a god
But I am devoted
Whatever I possess
Whatever gifts or skills I still have
Are yours
And whatever you need
Whatever I can get
I'd give you all
