Remember Every Promise

Ah, Love! True and sweet! And forever young!

This moment, from my heart, true love is my tongue!

Not “memory”, but real-and-now, love and life and breath!

My passion is an ardor beyond death!

Remember every promise!





First-wed, we mastered living, hand-in-hand.

Our glass let pass its grains of golden sand.

With sons and daughters God fulfilled our life,

as stronger grew young-love of husband and wife.

Remember every promise.





We built our path securely, brick by brick.

Our rising suns, and setting, seemed so quick!

Love stays strong; flesh grows further from its prime.

Last-lines are written, no higher paths we’ll climb;

remember every promise.





Love me as you knew me….as you knew me,

not as I’m lying here. This is not me!

Love me “then”, love me in “yesterday.”

“Do Not Resuscitate”. They’ll pull the plug, I’ll slip way:

Remember Every Promise.
