The sages and wise ones
say life is ephemeral
That things come and go
and that’s just how it is
They tell us that love rarely goes on forever
The future won’t find us just as this day is.
Death makes its visit as sure as the sunrise
Doors always close on some work
and some friends.
Triumphs and heartaches are
life’s strange bedfellows
Chapters start fresh,
but they always must end.
But, a promise, a promise
Oh, what’s in a promise
It weaves through all changes
intent on its goal
A promise, a promise
What is in a promise
A vow is a fire to warm human souls.
Let us sing life’s song in full orchestration
Harmonies simply can’t be played alone
With doubles and couplets
and joined single voices
A duet is formed, and a Covenant born.
Someday when joy’s light does not
grace the morning
The grayness of platitudes invade the day.
Let’s promise to then sing the
song that we now sing
And seek not to part but find how to stay.
A promise, a promise
Oh, what’s in a promise….
A vow is a fire to warm human souls
A promise, a promise
what is in a promise….
So mundane, such ecstasy
So earthbound such spirit
A prison that sets you free
The substance of future
So human, so holy
And the faith to believe

A Promise
