The Oath

I made an Oath, many, many years ago.

An Oath made freely, willingly.

 This Oath was made not alone.

 

I said the words, that sealed the bond,

The words were true, spoken without regret.

Wrapped around my heart, it warms and protects in winter storms.

I never let them slipway, believing them still now, still today.

 

This Oath has great value, value unseen

Pure and precious beyond all that glitters like gold.

It is the cornerstone, the pillars of all the hearts rooms.

Built by man and wife, blessed by divine grace.

 

Together the Oath is made, together forever.

Never splinter, nor drift and never to go astray.

Bound by Love, Honor, Trust and Forgiveness.

Bound by God till death us do part.

 

Simple little words, said in presence of but a few.

Echoing to the future, far beyond the mortal view.

Just You and Me and a promise.

I DO!

Author's Note

The promise made by marriage. An Oath of love that is written in the heart.

It sounds like a big commitment and if fulfilled it deserves unity in the after life.

The character in the poem is in a position where will be faced with spiritual battles to endure reality or illusion.

Thanks for reading, and yes. Big words will always be tested. Lets hope and believe the even if there is storms ahead with faith and devine grace all will be overcome.

I sensed a questioning - not an affirming... strange.

Welcome to WC

Thank you for the review, and yes there is a hidden question asked by this line "Echoing to the future, far beyond the mortal view." Simply that will the Oath be honored in years to come. This is the question for all that make an oath. Well atleast that was the feeling I was going for.

[Chris]

so many want the future - til it arrives... ya know?

[Patrick O'Neil]

Yes very true, but with an oath in mind, it is a constant daily remainder, and if kept, if honored, the future will be just as good as the day the oath was made. Well aging a simple believe if you will therefore this line "I never let them slipway, believing them still now, still today."
