Some are afraid to commit
Fearing entanglement they admit
Yet commit means to accomplish
Possibly finishing that which will astonish
Whether it be a poem of hope
A love letter in a floral envelope
That novel you one day will write
Bringing satisfaction, personal delight
The man/woman you commit to
Years of affection you now accrue
Completing that university degree
Looking back drinking afternoon tea
You realize you accomplished much
Not a wasted life, since you have touched
Many along the path you have chosen
Filling your life with depth of devotion
Committing wasn’t so bad in the end
People friends family you now blend
Into a lifestyle of joy and overall peace
Thanking your lucky stars you did not cease
To commit to your future and all it entailed
Yourself in the long run you have not failed
I love the different aspects of commitment you highlighted. So often the word is seen as a commitment to a relationship but what you’ve written shows how much of ourselves we do commit. As always, your take on a word prompt encourages a deeper understanding!
Why thank you, that is what I was going for 🙂 You are the first to mention that. Thank you for the feedback 🙂 I appreciate that very much.
Nicely written ????
Thank you
