My promise is
That I will never let go
Of the things that have
Shaped me and formed me.
I will never let go of
My family
Or of the scent of old books.
I will never let go of
My old blanket
Or the warmth of sitting by a fireplace.
I will never let go of
My childhood artwork
Or the memory of Thanksgiving when I was twelve.
I will never let go of
My favorite stuffed animal
Or the feeling of hugging my mother.
I will keep a close hold on
What has helped me be who I am
And this is my promise.
