A Vow To Myself Poem by Kurt Philip Behm
A Vow To Myself
I asked for your blessing…
instead you explained
What I should be paying
to garner acclaim
You told me if only
I'd do it this way
My words could have meaning
and influence—sway
But power and fortune
are not what I sought
If influence only
gets brokered and bought
So the blessing passed over
no bribery done
A last vow to myself
—from you I must run
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June,2016)
