If Only Poem by Robin Bennett

If the sun climbs in the-
eastern sky, will you,
still love me tomorrow?

Should tropical clouds
brew thick and
heavy, can we
weather the
storm?

If no rainbow appears,
after the deluge, can
we find our pot
of gold?

If gale winds tear us
apart, can a summer
breeze soothe
our souls?

If hurt tears us apart,
promise me you
will try to mend
the pain.

Assure me that hate
will never poison
our hearts.

Together, let us have
love, nurture and
grow strong
within us.

May we always dance,
until death steps in
and steals our
beat.
