THE PROMISE

THE PROMISE


We sat on
A rock
My friend
And me...
Hand in hand 
Watched we
The Sea...

We began 
Counting
Them waves
As
At our feet
They came!

Thousands
Upon 
Thousands
We
Counted.

From the 
Smallest
To the
Largest
Said my 
Friend to me
That is
How much 
Love
I feel
Toward our
Friendship.. 

I smiled
Nodding
For I knew
Well the feeling!

Time passed
Eve turned
To night...

It was 
Soon
Time for
My friend 
To go
Back home...

Promise, I do
To return
To see
You
And hold
Hands 
We will
Again
As we
Talk
With our
Hearts...

Now, i
Must leave!

We kissed
Before he
Into the waves
Slipped.

Do not cry
Said
My merman
For 
You are to
Me
What no
Mermaid
Ever
Will be.
Said he...

Everything!
