Those things 1

A SOLEMN VOW
For what is in a name,
That it must harm us thus?
I may not love thee,
For thy name in my father's book has no plus!
Defying him is no doubt a friendly thought,
But that of the consequences I do not trust!"

He has no money to his name!
This is but a childish game!"
These are the words on love my father shares,
Thus bringing to my eyes sorrowful tears!

"How can he call love a childish game?" I wonder
"Is this what he and mum share?" At this thought, I shudder!
For on this subject no matter what my father says,
As long as my love is with you, I have no fears.

Even the sun knows this is true:
For she shines and leads my way as I come to you
And yes the moon agrees wiht this:
For she always funds our romantic kiss!

Once I thought Id run away,
Believing all my father had to say.
But then i listened to the melody of the stars,
And it calmed my aching heart.
This is what they sang:

" How can something so beautiful be so wrong?
How can one choose not to dance to love's song?
What is in a name that love cannot conquer?
When even Heaven, Earth and Hell could not move her asunder!
For no one can stop the music when it starts to play,
But only those who started it, a fact true till ths day!"

So what is in a name, again I ask thee thus,
That this much sorrow should it cause?
So let us damn the consequences,
And forget my father's utterances!
I choose this day to love thee with a smile.
And if my father does strike?
Oh hell, I'd simply cry!
