I Ask Poem by JoAnne Shadday

If I ask you to stay, will you linger beside me? If I promise you tomorrow, will you give me today? If I am faithful to you, will I remain true to myself? If I accomplish much, have I gained less?

If I should dare to dream, will you come apart at the seams? If you hold me toady, will I continue to stay? I wonder....
