Familiar's Promise

Heather Alexander


I can feel your heart burning
With tears that you hide
I will walk without turning
Ever close by your side
I will guard you at night
And alert you to harm
And will snuggle up tight
Just to keep us both warm

Lay your hand on my head
As the firelight dies
And believe what I've said
For this love never lies

I'll inspire you to laugh
I'll release you to cry
I'm the strong silent half
Of what we unify
I will give you my heart
If you give me your hand
And it's never we'll part
Whilst beside you I stand

If it's courage you seek
I am yours to command
I don't outwardly speak
But I still understand
Through your joy and your strife
I'll attempt any task
I will lay down my life
All you needs do is ask
