Cross My Heart Poem by Rosalinda Flores Martinez

Commit

Cross your heart and hope to die…
Walk the path, the extra mile
Place a veil above your head
Lock your belt and sow your bed.

When you say yes
You go and breed
And many promises to keep
A knife on vein
When you walk in
No turning back
Though kneel in pain.

Be imbued
And light would come
One potent Father carries you

I do. I do. Yes I do.
"Don't be afraid, " He says,
Be still. Know that I am God."
