Lead and I Will Follow

Lead and I will follow you, across the deepest seas
Sail on tranquil waters, on our quest for joy and peace

If you lead me I will follow you, onto the sands of the shores
Make love by the rippling waves
As I present to you, the gift that is rightfully yours

Lead and I will follow you, upon  majestic mountain peaks
Stretch forth my hands to capture stars,  respectfully place them at your feet

If you lead me I will follow you, deep into valleys low
Lie under peaceful skies, and watch the moon’s magnificent glow

Lead and I will follow you, across whimsical rolling plains
Stand with you under the heavens, as it pours down its fragment rains

If you lead me I will follow you, soaring the soothing skies
Fly in a world that is  free of fear and doubts, for our eternal lives

Lead and I will follow you, discovering unknown lands
Journey the earth as man and wife; I will happily give you my hand.

If you lead me I will follow you, my predestined soul mate
Walk with you on streets of gold, as we enter heaven's pearly gates


Chiquita Baity

Chiquita, if I can't follow you at least I can follow your beautifully enticing poetry that always leaves me coming back for more. Thanks for this one along with your kind comments regarding "The WORD." It's a warm feeling knowing someone with your talent is as interested in my work as I am in yours. (Sincerely:) Terry Martin

Chiquita, have you found him yet. This looks like the way I would have written a poem when I used to be young and filled with romantic hope. Very nice

Searching for the other's laugh, the soulmate like the mirror half, to find it sorely is to chaff, but we will keep a searching:( great flow here, Don
