I like this poem. It’s not just a childish promise, but a promise made with that confident intent that you know, can’t express, but you know, it is an intent shared and to be kept, deep.

RT @VWC_Writes: Free was the wind
and for a moment
I too, felt liberated
an anonymous feather
(from an old dream of flight)
empty of all… 42 minutes ago
RT @VWC_Writes: It was a beautiful sadness
rain that fell without apology
its small hands gracing
every flower at my heels

If only our leaders honoured “Pinky Swear.”
Yeah.
I don’t think I ever pinky swore. Did I miss out on an important part of childhood?
lol Perhaps you didn’t need to make solemn vows?
Haha..I promised verbally. Nothing as solemn as the pinky ones? Nope. =D

I think adults often forget that children have intense opinions and beliefs. When they means something, they REALLY mean it.
