Something to offer

A Poem by Wem Ortiz

4 years 6 months and 11 days left

for my love, I would have to say this
I cannot offer you a mansion
not even a house filled with grand decors
I cannot offer you top of the chart rides
that will deliver you elsewhere
I am not even sure to always travel the world with you
or even worst, that we cannot leave our own city.

I cannot even offer you midnight snacks to fill up your belly

but one thing I’m sure of,

I can give you three meals a day with gladness in your part
I can build you places and dance with you even without music
I can walk with you, facing different challenges of life.

I can build you a home
with dreams made by hearts
and not by greedy assumptions.
I can only give you contentment
and a promised that I’ll be at your side
even your hair stops growing black.
