What It Is You Have To Offer Poem by Faith Elizabeth Brigham

What It Is You Have To Offer

Rating: 5.0


this could be the beginning
of something beautiful
but i musn't plan the future

i will extract no promises
from you and i in turn
can promise you nothing

i can be free enough to
be myself with you but i
can only hope you feel the same

and most of all i expect
nothing of you for it is then and
only then i can enjoy what it is you have to offer

Perfect sense, but it is so hard not to extract promises imo. My husband used a regular line with friends new and old, he would say. 'that's what I like about being friends, you don't want anything from me and I don't want anything from you! ' it is so true that we expect so much from family and lovers. We should treat them more like our friends, it is very hard, where most families and too many lovers are concerned! lol Excellent write Faith. 10 from me. Grinning, learning Tai
