Promises
When you were taken
So quickly away
There were few promises
I wouldn't make
The words I said
Frozen now in memory
"Yes, Master," slipped from
Between cracked lips
Now you've been gone
For many sunrises
As the sun sets
Marking yet another goodbye
I remember who you were
And what you taught me
As I look into the eyes
Of my padawan
I remember those promises
Yet again
"Yes, Master," slips from
My mouth quietly
To be heard by no one
And to be heard by everyone
The force knows all
The force hears all
