Commitment Poem

Commitment Poem

I commit to an ambition

For my relationship with you

To strive to always together

Equal more than the sum of our parts

I commit to being really interested

In learning to understand you

At a deep fundamental level

And to communicate from that place.

To be intuitively connected,

To speak without words

A language only we two understand

I commit to being the champion

Of your strengths and uniqueness

As well as the guardian of your

Sensitivities and weaknesses

Your dreams, your vulnerabilities

And your greatest qualities

I commit to holding you

In the highest esteem

And vow never to allow you

To stop learning and growing

As a person everyday

And I commit to challenging you

At every step of the way

To be the very best that you can be

I commit to helping you see

Your blind spots and showing you

How to shine a light on them

And guide you through gently

With understanding and kindness

Acceptance and patience

I commit to finding the joy

In learning together

And never seeing the work to make it work

As a chore, but a blessing

And every crisis an opportunity

To strengthen and reaffirm

The connection between us

I commit to choosing you

For the journey

Not just the destination

For my family, our legacy

And my best friend.

I commit to being

Your reference point and your port

Your dock, your anchor,

Your freedom, your rock

And your soft place to fall.

I commit to do my utmost to love you

With the whole of my heart

I make this commitment to you

Until death do us part.
