The Vow
love shown in caresses of gnarled hands
dried out from the spring of youth
skins worn like old Cashmere
that once as in love draped around
shoulders and ample bosom
hair grey highlighted with white
framed her sweet face once so pretty
love in honesty shone through his eyes
as he touched her face vowing eternal
the love of them together in a golden circle
dried out from the spring of youth
skins worn like old Cashmere
that once as in love draped around
shoulders and ample bosom
hair grey highlighted with white
framed her sweet face once so pretty
love in honesty shone through his eyes
as he touched her face vowing eternal
the love of them together in a golden circle

Dear G,
Beautiful and enchanting that kind of love. Constant and moreover the respect and honor of a vow, which a lot of people disregard at the first sign of upset. Such a lovely write I wish you the best for this comp. H🌷

Promises at the beginning feel invincible knowing that they will be tested in the journey ahead.
Nice work.
