The Vows I Take Will Be Forever

The vows I take will be forever: I'll love you all my life. There's no part way, no holding back Once we are man and wife. The choice is made, and now I swim In a far different sea, The shores of which are bright green hills Raised up for you and me. Our love is like a mountainside Awash in lovely flowers: It is our home, our solid rock, Where all bright things are ours. And though of need we often must Spend our days apart, Our love will always be with us, Held within the heart. I feel it now, so strong and free, So part of every breath That it must live--I swear it will!-- Even after death. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
