Since you asked...

This weeks Prompt from 

My Word is My Bond

In this world of many cares
it's easy to lose track
of things that are important,
And you may never get them back.

My home is filled with treasures,
In my garden Magic grows,
But there's one thing much more precious 
than the rarest of all those.

"Honesty" is palpable within
these dusty walls.
For without it things like "trust" and "love"
cannot exist at all.

So when some one takes the time to ask
"What's important in your life?"
I simply tell them "Honesty"
*but my husband says "my wife"*

(:D Sorry ...couldn't resist that last line :D)
Enjoy :D XXX

  1. Honesty is really most important and as I was reading this my mind imagined the Honesty plant that has those unique disc like seed pods. It is always good to see humor put in poetry!

  5. I love this poem and I agree. Without trust we cannot feel safe in our relationships. Laughed at the last lines, how wonderful your husband feels that way :-)

  10. I think both are honest answers --and i agree what counts within the walls is how it feels..safe seems part of the magic and treasures (for me at least) too :) A good word and bond

  12. Had to drop by and let you know my husband asked how you are! Of all the ladies I go on about he asked how the English lady in the hood was! Awe!
    But he never notices when I dye my hair! Oh well! Xoxoxoxo
