Part XX:
My Promise

My Promise:

Through tempests raging, seeking love's guiding light,
To reclaim what's lost, make love's beacon bright,
To kindle my Maiden's fire, dispel the night.

To earn her trust, my quest, I'll brave the fight,
In shadows deep and in the morning's light,
To show my love, with every word, every sight.

I vow my heart, my spirit, and my might,
For my Maiden's joy, in safety and delight,
My efforts matter not, to make her world right.

I promise my skill, my help, my guiding sight,
From cards of green, to homes and schools of dreams
Together we'll brave life's challenges, so hold tight.

I vow to shield her, with all my might,
From troubles near and in the vast expanse, our flight,
With love's warm melody, our souls ignite.

I pledge my love, forevermore, our hearts in flight. 

Introduction:

I cannot change the past, but I can promise a new future. The Universe does not operate on our timeline. While it would have been ideal for everything to align perfectly when Alexandra and I met, that wasn't the case.

Perhaps we needed to face these challenges to test our resolve, educate ourselves, and create adversity to forge a lasting bond. This is my optimistic perspective.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. If that reason necessitates some time apart for reflection and reconsideration, know this, my dear Alexandra: I promise to do everything within my power and influence—especially all that which does not carry a price.

My promises are holistic and rooted in foundational changes. Alexandra you inspired me to become a better person. So I offer my unfaltering love and this better version of myself to you, Alexandra, whenever you are ready.
