Don'T Promise Me the World

Don’t promise me the world That’s not yours to give Neither promise me forever When all you have to give is today Just give me your today And all it encompasses And should forever come and finds us here Our mere presence would speak of our genuine love ~*~ ©04/17/11 Audrey Haick a.k.a.

I like that idea, Annalise. We should all have realistic expectations of our relationships.

When people promise us "the world," they are usually either misguided or intentionally misrepresenting themselves, Annalise. I love the message here. So true! All we can offer is what we have today. Love, Carolyn
