Elizabeth Agiantritis Poet Free verse

The Promise

In the house of the Lord
They promise
To run hand in hand in the sun and in the rain.
They promise
To share their laughter and their tears.
They promise
To make a home
And decorate it with colour and light.
They promise
To make their dreams reality.
They promise
To carry each other over the sea.
They promise
To cherish their love forever.
They promise
To live and die together.

Debbie Duncan July 25, 2015 at 5:01 PM nicely done, I like the rhyming :) Elizabeth Agiantritis July 26, 2015 at 2:12 PM Thanks :-)

Laura Breidenthal July 24, 2015 at 4:00 AM Very nice one! I definitely agree with Lyrics man down below, the repeating phrase throughout is a great effect, to the constancy of any union. Always, Laura Elizabeth Agiantritis July 24, 2015 at 6:05 AM Thanks Laura. I had written this one when I was quite young, but then re-wrote it when I was older. I'm glad the repetition sounds good.
