Promises

                                                         

All the promises you have made

Have manifested as truth

You are not only a promise maker

You are a promise keeper

 

You gave a promise of rain

Which made one man a fool

But his faith stayed strong

As the rains turned to floods

 

You gave a promise of a new land

But many years passed by,

And the people became frustrated

But in time, the promised land came

 

There aren’t just past promises

They still continue today

Every day is a promise of hope

A promise of a new beginning
