A Promise Made
Myna was sick with worry
She needed to come
to my brother's aide
And for that reason
A promise was made.

"I'm going in blind
For all I know,
he could be dead
If something were to happen to me
I want you to raise
the twins in our stead."
AJ looked at me not sure what to say.
I'm certain he would have agreed
And right away.
But this is my brother and Myna was
Asking I stay safe and out of the fray.

I felt conflicted
My father taught me
To never back down from a fight
But I realized Myna needed this peace of mind
in order to do the job right.

I took hold of AJ's hand.
For Myna and Lorne I said,
"I understand."
Myna looked so relieved
She almost cried.
"Don't you dare!" I did swear
"You best bring you both back alive."
"If you don't, I will never forgive
Myself for staying behind.
And I know what it was like
growing up without a mother,
and that is a fate you don't want
your children to be resigned."

Myna's resolve became iron clad.
"I'm not going in alone.
My children will have
both a mom and a dad."
Myna met with other women
They worked out a plan
What Uno Zabba doesn't know is
His fight is over before it began.
