I promise this with all my heart, To chase my dreams, to do my part. Through college halls, I’ll find my way, With hopes that brighten every day. Beyond the shore, where oceans gleam, I’ll work and live my lifelong dream. Aboard a ship that cuts the tide, With strength and love as my true guide. For those who raised me, gave me light, Who stayed beside me every night, My parents, siblings, all who cared, Whose quiet love was always there. I’ll give them more than just a smile, A life of peace, a life worthwhile. Though they may never voice their plea, Their dreams will sail the seas with me. No riches could repay their grace, But I’ll uplift their every place. Whether they ask or stay content, I’ll give them all—it’s what they meant. So here's my vow, through storm or calm, To give them joy, to be their balm. With every wave, this truth I feel: My love for them will always heal.
