The Promise

If I were to touch you

Would you respond?

I so want to touch you

And feel your warmth,

I desire to be a part,

And yet a part of,

I would like to be

One with you.

There are no sure pathways

In my life,

There is no direct road to success

Looking for me,

Tomorrow is as uncertain as

Yesterday was certain,

There is nothing I can offer you,

Except, me.

We could watch the moon’s glow

Light the earth,

We could plant the tender seed

Of tomorrow’s future,

We could risk all of today,

For tomorrow,

We could find happiness in being

One human being!
