They ask me
How I can agree
To give my hand
To take your name
Embrace your world
Leaving mine in fragments to the wind
When I still haven’t seen
The iris of your eye
Or the curl of your hair
I smile, knowing that
When we do meet
It won’t be love at first sight
But faith in first promise
For I have met you
Through my mother’s eyes
Seen the courage in your heart
That I will love without abandon
Heard the whisperings of your conscience
That I will follow with full faith
Felt the fire in your compassion
That I’ll most willingly die for
Each time she says
She has chosen
The type of man
I’d want to raise my son to be

A beautiful and poignant poem …. so deep and yet such simple lines
Thank you, Kajal for your kind words.
This poem really touched my heart – as a wife, as a mother but mostly as a woman. ❤
How wonderful to know, Kim. Thank you.
