Love Promise Poem by Ritu Shah

Long I had waited
to hold her close to me,
care for her
and tell her
how much she means to me..
Everything she thinks of
I’ll bring it to her feet
All the darkness she had lived
I’ll brighten
With the love candle
forever lit..
She had put all her faith
in my hand
And I promise I won’t
let it go vain..
If only I could tell her-
She gave me my life
by reciprocating
with a Yes word.
I promise
I’ll prove her
decision worthwhile
Be a strength to her
and give her a joyous life..
