Hunter
Tonight.
I have given a promise.
and I could have wept
for I have given joy.
Above all, the faith was the gift.
The resolve in her eyes
that told me all
what was I.
I am proud
and my heart swells.
As I lay in the embrace
that was the prize,
I thought, perhaps, I will
make more of it -
promises I will work to keep
Till my death.
