Premiere Contest WinnerThe Bride To Her Future Groom

I promise not to leave you. I promise my love. I know you, my darling, were sent from above. I promise loyalty. I promise support. My arms will encircle you and be your fort. I'll stand by your side with love and with pride. I'll give you my hand. I'll be your bride. So give me your promise to love me too. And be with me today In your suit of blue. Promise me a smile in your quiet way. And give me a kiss To seal the day. Copyright: 2005

Thank you so much, Zaynab. I wrote this poem for someone else who was getting married and she used it in the wedding ceremony. I was very honored that she did. I have not used it (yet) myself. lol

Thank you, Andrea. I wrote it many years ago but I think a pledge of true love never dies...but then, I'm a "romantic".

Thank you so much, Maria. I wrote it a while back but never got to use it myself as it was only a fantasy. I'm just glad that someone will actually get to use it now. :) Carole xox

True, one expects the other to keep the promises, but he always ready to break them. The contrasts is beautifully expressed.

Thanks, Newton. However, not everyone is "ready to break them". I appreciate your reading my poetry though.
