Vows

Used as a verb

Or used as a noun

The word vow

Has common ground

To pledge, to promise

An oath to give

A guide for a career

A promise of the lifestyle you will live

Chase took a vow

First do no harm

Heal the patient's body

Their spirit do not alarm

But as a woman awaits her vow

To devote her life to God

Chase questions her decision

He finds her choice rather odd

Leaving this world and its pleasures

Is something Chase could never actually do

And as Moira's time draws nearer

She doubts that it's right for her too

Fate steps in after a brush with death

A vision of love and forgiveness is shown

Moira knows where she must go

For her strength of conviction has grown

Chase is determined to stop her

Shakiness from his legs has made him slip into love

He is ready to brashly confront her

To be by his side, not someone from above

As House watches the scene unfold

He knows it can lead to no good

For with or without a cane or crutches

In Chase's shoes, he once stood

House is bluntly honest

Admits that his body, mind and soul are in pain

His act of desperation has led him deeper into despair

It's a mistake he doesn't want to see again

So Chase wishes Moira well

As the world will no more see her beauty and charm

Our wounded duckling, with a few feathers plucked

Returns, having in the long run done no harm
