Follow Me

 
~ Follow Me ~
 
If I told you
that I couldn't promise the sun would always shine
but I could promise you would always know warmth
my love like warm amber on an onyx night
would you follow me?
 
If I told you
that I couldn't promise the moon would always come out
but I could promise my heart would always shine
lighting the way for you
would you follow me?
 
If I told you
that I couldn't promise when the wind blows, it won't bite
but I could promise you shelter
wrapped up in my arms
would you follow me?
 
If I told you
that I couldn't promise some days won't taste bitter
but I could promise that life together would be sweet
and that we would always crave each other
would you follow me?
 
I will seek out beauty to share with you
but when it hides, dancing just beyond the shadows
I can strike up music of our own
you will still feel the warmth, see the light
feel the breeze and taste the love
if you will follow me.

  13. I used to follow you, but now I think I'm just 'subscribed'. It's hard to tell, let alone remember, when you're a true blond! You do leave pretty 'footprints' for us, though! :-)

    1. Well, I don't remember things all the time, and I'm not blonde so I don't have that excuse - lol! Thank you for subscribing, though, and I'm glad you're enjoying my 'footprints' :)
