Okay PDV.....here's the poem, now to find a man who'll say yes and in turn promise the same...think I'll have to shoot for next Feb 29th....4 years from now  I Promise I can not give you rainbows The moon, the sun, the stars Mansions full of diamonds And gold will not be ours I can not promise sunny days Or skies that never rain I can not keep you safe from harm Nor take away your pain I can not say that we will always See things eye to eye Or that life will all be simple And we won’t struggle to get by But I promise to stand beside you Through good times and through bad To lend a shoulder for you to cry on To hold you when you’re sad I’ll offer up my hand to you To guide you when you’re lost I’ll shelter you admist life’s storms No matter what the cost I pledge to you my heart, my soul I’ll give you all I can And never for a second will you Doubt that you’re my man I’ll love you like no other has To you I will be true I’ll nurture, honor and respect This all, I promise you So I come before you now Tonight, on bended knee To promise all my love to you If you’ll just marry me I’ve rehearsed these sincere words But I’m nervous, I confess As I offer up this ring of promise And pray that you’ll say yes < !signature--> Have you ever noticed That the words... "Goodbye" "I'm sorry" "I love you" Are so easy to pronounce ...Yet so hard to say ~Javan [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 02-28-2000).] |

The things that you can promise are the things that are most important and their not really things, but the gift of self. Is there no greater gift???? Too bad this world get hung up on things, clouding the really important beauty there is out there. Hoot, you are such a great writer! |

I really must echo Danny in "all" that he has said...you are a great writer! And as for the rest, yes, yes! The gift of self is, indeed, the one gift that cannot be measured, sold, bought, bartered, manufactured, simulated, duplicated or upgraded. It is "the genuine article." Wonderful writing, Hoot Owl. ~ Claire |

Pobably the most heart felt poem I have ever seen from you Ruth. And for me it has special meaning deep inside that you know I share. I don't really know how to respond...I know it is not directed at me but in the same....Wishing it was. There are two kinds of pedestrians...the quick and the dead. Drive it like you stole it. |

You give`m a hint of what`s in store, And make him wait Four year`s more  No man in his right mind would turn an offer of love like this away. Beautiful read Hoot_Owl. |

Ah, hoot. You're a custom tailored fit in an off the rack world. You should have these things said to you every day. Wonderful writing |
