As I take this Oath...
By Chebet Caroline
As I step to worlds unknown,
Scribble this seal of eternity,
Walked down this isle,
As I utter this words
For me to seal this vow,
I feel your cold Momma,
I feel your loneliness,
As I slip this ring in his hand and
As I turn my back at you,
To give a hug to someone else,
I feel the betrayal,
That the hugs I have given you while I was with you was not enough


I feel the cold biting,
Yours was a warm hug of a Momma
While this is a seal of eternal vows of love
As I move down this aisle,
With best wishes sweeping through my feet,
I can feel your heart going numb,
I can feel the mixed reaction in you,
Both sad and happy,
As you see me take this vow,
To live and love this man

As I scribble this seal of eternal engagement,
I feel your voice getting lost
While you cannot utter a word
I can feel your heart throb with uncertainty
If,
This man will take care of your little girl.

As this ring is slipped to my finger,
I can feel your tears
I can feel the million thuds of heartthrobs
I can feel your anger
That someone is stealing your jewel
I can feel your envy,
Of someone robbing you of your treasure.
