Love & Promises

I have walked through fire: I have drank of life’s bitters cup , and oh the woe I’ve seen.

Yet where there is breath there is life and life is beholden to the promise of dreams.

Though the darkness has laid snares fraught with peril along a path of many sorrows.

I strive; I live; I believe, for in hope there is life, and in life there are many dreams.

When one soul sees the blackness, which consumes like fire the intrepid night.

I see beyond the shadows; I feel the passion in my heart that points to the light.

If you could but read the lines drawn in secret on the chambers this joyful heart.

If you could but dissect its inner source you would find nothing but love in its purest form.

For as God is my witness in this world often built of confusion and disdain.

My life’s map has been drawn out before the very foundation of the earth was lain.

Its course; its direction, its very source undefiled and patently plain.

Therefore no matter the obstacle, no matter the trials,...I/ we must in patience overcome.

I will with resolution of spirit refuse the darkness and in the fullness of light seek..yes seek.

I will make good on my promise to the one that my heart knows I truly love.

So sleep now in peace and know that our day will come.

Know that beyond a shadow of doubt that joy will be found as we become one.

For a promise is an oath and a promise is something this heart will never break.

Because I stand now on this hope, I stand on dreams and on the golden shores of our tomorrow,

For this heart of mine for YOU,  OH FOR YOU will patiently and lovingly wait.
