My Promise

I'm just thinking back on all we've been through;

I remember all the messed up things I did to You.

How'd I get everything so wrong?

And for so long!

Forty seven years of my life;

The last half so busy trying to be a pleasing wife.

Even trying my best at that;

The marriage got a flat.

Once again I was on my own;

And all I did was complain and moan.

The one good thing I did do;

Was reaching out to You.

You came when I was still blind;

With this earth the focus of my mind.

You saw me beg and plead;

For so much I didn't need.

When all I needed was strength from You;

And a purity that is true.

No "man" can fill my day;

Just The Man and it's to Him I pray.

I love You more than words can say;

I pray to never again lose my way, or go astray!

AMEN
