I have submitted to <br />what I should not have submitted to; <br /> <br />taken at times <br />what was not mine. <br /> <br />I have subscribed to <br />what I knew <br />was not true; <br /> <br />yet remained quiet <br />still; <br />afraid. <br /> <br />I've carried water <br />for that Other <br />while weak from thirst myself. <br /> <br />I've cast my eyes down <br />from exhaustion <br />and looked away <br />when I shouldn't have. <br /> <br />Yet <br />in all this <br />I have never faltered <br />from loving you. <br /> <br />Never once has your light <br />left my face; <br />my heart <br />from this home and space <br />we've shared. <br /> <br />My weaknesses <br />true <br />are many; <br /> <br />but my love for you <br />is my Monument- <br />and I'm Yours.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/submit-3/
