Promise of Devotion

I will hold your glimpses so right, When laughter greets hours to convey Flames of devotion which alight Through young stars releasing their sway : How ardor drifts with season’s flair That when ordeals rend , we prevail Affirming love, not time’s despair As waltzes float upon our trail . For better or worse etched on sky This sacred promise I cherish; Even in old age, we’ll rely On fond years... never to perish. Dearly beloved let’s embrace, Our only treasure from God’s grace. ---------- Submitted 7/08/2019 John Hamilton's Best Sonnet 2019 Originally Written 3/09/2019
