Keep Reaching

I won't let you down. I know so many have let you down in your life, but I am not one of them. I will never laugh 'at' you, but I promise I will laugh 'with' you or 'because' you gave the joy that requires such a voice. I promise to never scorn you, or to mock you because you are not exactly the same as everyone else. I promise to accept you, even those things I do not fully understand because they are a part of you. I promise to be there, and to always be your friend and confidant when others have turned their back. I promise to love you. Love is not a fair weather emotion. It does not only exist when there are smiles. It will see us through the hunger, the tears, the pains of life. If you reach for me, I promise you will always find me. I won't let you down.
