Make Me a Promise

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 

Make me a promise

Share with me 
your dreams 
your words 
and your heart 

Promise that 
you'll see me 
as I am 
not 
as you hope me to be  

Promise 
you'll hold my hand 
and my heart 
tenderly 

That you'll kiss me 
always
as you do today 

Promise that our nights 
on the riverbank 
will cool our skin 
but not our fervor 

Promise to be mine 
always 

Make me a promise

*This was inspired by a beautiful poem by 
Charles Lindholm called "Promise Me".
