I promise to be strong...

I promise to be strong, even when I don't feel strong, I promise to be strong.

I promise to be strong, I come from strong stock, from poor immigrants who turned their lives from lemons to lemonade.

I promise to be strong in honor of their memory and I promise to be strong to honor myself.

Even on the days that I feel lousy, have a headache, feel woozy, feel edgy, feel scary, I promise to be strong.

I promise to be strong to honor my husband and my children.

I always want them to think of me as being strong...
