Doug's Vows to Chris

With you're steady knowing voice
and each quiet selfless choice
with your morning coffee
and your midnight kiss
your trust to follow me blindly
and the way you catch
the things I miss
in so many ways
you're so wonderful to me
I only pray in return
that I might be
good enough for you

So with this love I do
I promise loud
to follow you
with all my heart
to do what's right
not what's easy
to hold you
long all through the night
when you need me
to stand behind you
when you're strong or bold in thought
to warm you
on cold empty mornings
to laugh with you
at each day's shared surprises
to cry with you
when we face
the hollow corners of this place
never losing pace
with your stride
standing silent or singing loudly
but always by your side

I do
I promise you
I vow to always be
good enough for you
