My Vow To You
When you are sad, I will dry your tears
When you are scared, I will comfort your fears
When you need love, my heart I will share
When you are sick, for you I will care
You will feel my love when we are apart
Knowing that nothing will change my heart
When you are worried, I will give you hope
When you are confused, I will help you cope
When you are lost, and can't see the light
My love will be a beacon, shining ever so bright
This is my vow, one that I pledge till the end
For you above all are my wife and best friend
These words I have written, speak of my love for you
From my lips these words spoken, shall always ring true
God has blessed me, and with your hand in mine
Both of our hearts, will forever intertwine
Into all lives, falls pain and sorrows,
I promise together, we will meet all tomorrows
Happy in marriage, honor and love
blessed in unity by God above

A series of cynical, cliched couplets using trite rhymes and hackneyed Hallmark sentiment. I get no sense of reality from it, no sense of struggle or doubt or compromise, or of getting through those things, which is essential to a good, long lasting marriage in real life. This is written by an outsider looking in, or someone denying their own feelings or their own past - or by someone who doesn't care about real people.

It's pretty self explanatory, isn't it? It is a clear picture of how God intends marriage to be. Self-sacrifincing, longsuffering, patient and unconditional love. This is someone vowing to be that person when united in marriage.

I'm not sure that I understand the need to analyze? It seems very evident that this is a love poem where one person will always be there for the other.
There don't seem to be any hidden meanings or symbolism here. It is what it is.

Sounds like a dedication of one's love to their new spouse. The man is promising that no matter he will be there because he loves her.
