Commitment Poems
If I Were to Stumble
by Richard Randolph
If I were to stumble,
if I were to fall,
would you lend a helping hand,
would you even call?
Might you turn away,
pretend you didn't see,
might you simply shake your head,
put the blame on me?

The Marriage Proposal
by Richard Randolph
I built my house of wood and stone.
I built my house with sinew and bone.
I built it strong to withstand war,
but I put a welcome mat at my door.
I built it here near the sea,
so I can watch the ships sailing free.
And I built it with windows wide
to better understand the world outside.
From here you can feel the ocean breeze
and hear the songbirds singing in the trees.
