"A promise"

You suggest

I suck in a deep breath


Maybe this promise will change the lives of my children


Maybe this promise will be a shrill ringing then

A reminder of the compromise that a promise takes


"A promise, to love each other as we love our family

And ourselves"


Thinking for a moment, i stand still


Then i reluctantly lift my hand

And i curl my pinky around yours.
