 When I Promise Love

Today I make my promises to you

And we will make our promises to us.

I will promise ‘love’

I will promise ‘commitment’ and ‘forever’,

Solemn promises, but made with bursting joy.

 

When I promise ‘love’

I mean ‘I give myself to you in unreserved commitment.’

When I promise ‘for ever’

I mean ‘through all the days and weeks and months and years that we may live.’

‘Forever’ means ‘always’

And even after that if I can have my way.

What I start with you I will finish with you.

 

What I promise to you is like a circling chain of beads.

There is no end.

I count around the circle and the count can never end.

My love and my commitment never end.

My promise can’t be broken.

The promise is me and I the promise.

 

When I commit to ‘you alone’

I do so with my body and my mind and spirit.

There is no part of me that I will not surrender

To become a part of us.
