Poetry

A poem I wrote when I was 15 to my future husband when I took the vow of purity. I can tell you on this day that I have kept and keeping that promise until my wedding night.


I made a promise to a shadow.

I carry this promise for all tomorrows.

A promise so true and no one could ever borrow.

I made a promise to a shadow.

Eight years ago that is when I took that vow.

To keep my self pure, not let it become a dirty towel.

I made a promise to a shadow.

A ring is the only outward appearance of this promise.

I wear it so I won't give up my vow to a compromise.

A measly little gold ring with a cross worn were my wedding band will someday be.

I made a promise to a shadow.

I will never let someone untie my Innocent heart.

To never let someone random have this present I brought.

You are the only one who will untie this vow because your love will seal the deal.

Until that day I see your face, your a shadow that I made this promise to.
