Promises

You didn't promise anything
like lovers do
but you fulfilled
you didn't promise wealth
you didn't promise hapiness
faithfulness
or a long marriage
but what you didn't promise
you kept

I didn't promise you anything
not a big house
not infinite love
or a long marriage
but what I didn't promise
I kept
and what I won't promise
I will fulfill.
Moshe Benarroch
