Promise Keepers ~*~ we try, we do, when a promise is given to make them last, long past our living and the only real covenant I can see is my promise to revere your memory ~*~ sweet babe of my cradle, I'll give you love I'll give you joy, what wisdom I know of I gave you breath, but I promise you this you are your mother's heart, my sweet bliss ~*~ wonderful child of light, a spirit of elation loving your laugh is no mere sensation I gave you life, but I promise you this you are your father's heart, my sweet bliss ~*~ I promise you that as a woman fully grown you will have reasons to be on your own you will leave soon, but I promise you this, you will find a home in your first true kiss ~*~ I promise you that as a man of strength you will have reason to go great lengths and I promise you, one day you will find a loving reason to change your mind ~*~ when the woman then sees the man promises unfold in love, sweet and pure she smiles at him, and he is quite sure that promises lie in sweet demure ~*~ "I would take you in promise, for my wife" "and I promise to you, the rest of my life" and they pledge, a commitment of two as an engagement is meant to do ~*~ promises kept can keep a promise intact giving of word means not looking back it is when a promise starts to fail that the sun and moon will begin to pale ~*~ so go forth in promise, in faith and in hope for in these sweet words are found ways to cope then keep your promises, as they are a treasure for God sees them as a gift of measure ~*~ 12 February 2001 |

Sunshine, I must agree with Balladeer...this is VERY nice. Soft and sentimental. Thank you for it. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

.... yes, promises are important to keep...... sometimes promises are made too lightly and sometimes words spoken are misconstrued as promises when they aren't meant to be..... life is hard, y'know? goodnight, sweet poet lady..... email me tomorrow? |

That almost sounded like a lullaby, nice job! Jeremy Life is fading me away, far away, but I’m sketching myself back, line by line, mark by mark. |
