The vow by Malcolm O.

Varner.

No matter how deep the sadness or wide the pain,

I vow to live for a brighter day will come again.

No matter how many mistakes I've made in the past,

I vow to live and in the future,

Avoid them,

Sure-footed and fast.

No matter how many tragedies beyond my control take place,

I vow to live and stay my course within this race.

No matter how poor or rich I may ever be,

I vow to live and aspire to search for the dignity and simplicity.

No matter how much a lover may pierce the inner core of my heart,

I vow to live for like spring,

I'll get a new start.

No matter how isolated and alone I may feel,

I vow to live and do something for someone else to heal.

No matter how hopeless my situation may appear,

I vow to live and reflect until my viewpoint is clear.

No matter what happens in this life,

Good or bad,

I vow to live,

Do my best,

And just for living,

Be glad.

My name is Brittany Gale,

And it has been my pleasure to share this space with you.
