Band of Gold What powers did that band posess That simple band of gold To make me want to stay with you In a love that had grown cold To make me want to risk my life To give you health and more What was it about the ring that kept me From walking out the door Or did the ring mean something else To keep me staying here Or was it not the ring at all But simply just my fear I should have realized sooner That a ring does not love make That marriage should be compromise Not one give all, the other take And so I give you back your ring As I walk out the door For you see, It's just a band of gold Just that and nothing more ------------------ "Nobody has measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold" ~Zelda Fitzgerald |

All I can say is-I am sure glad you walked out that door and into Netpoets! You're a talented poet, and I look forward to reading your work! This piece was another touching one. |

That was well written.A ring don't mean a lot if there is not love or consideration or compromises or trust.Happy writing. |
