About the Poem
The end of my first marriage (which happened long before we actually parted) was very painful. The more so, I think, because Sharon and I had entered the marriage with expectations and promises of 'forever.' When those expectations were dashed and those promises broken, it hurt.
So, when I later asked Annette to be my wife, I was understandably a little shy about making promises.
No Promises |
| by Ron Carnell |
| "I did" isn't an illusion, But only a truth I lived. "I do" isn't a choice, But only a need I bear. "I will" isn't a promise, But only a belief I harbor. Yet, I surely did, As surely I do . . . Love you. |
