I Swear

I Swear

If you breathe life into me,

I will live for you.

If you stop these tears

from stinging my cheeks,

I will give you the warmth of the sun.

If you chase my nightmares

from my sleeping head,

I will give you the moon

and all her daughters for your own.

And I will cherish each step you take,

kiss each raindrop before it kisses you,

and I will make to you

the sincerest promise of my heart.

And forever you will know love

and feel its arms holding you.

Forever you will have peace

in the certainty of devotion,

and in the simplicity,

and the truth,

of my adoration,

my affection

and my desire

for you alone.

A wonderful verse. I was singing the song before it started to play. Shame on you. Only I am supposed to decide when to expose my soft underbelly!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha I guess we are all vulnerable, I know I am! Thank you 'M'

[Lydia Shutter]

Oh, John, the adoration in this one is stunning. The depth of romance and devotion is incredible! You truly write the most beautiful love poems. Lydi**

Thank you Lydi, you are very kind. I have to confess to being a romantic who loves nothing better than exchanging love with one true person.
