Promise

I don't Ike promises:
Someone can have the best intentions,
but life changes, routes change, crisis can happen,
even the length of life is unknown 
Unexpected things can lead a person to change mind

A promise has emphasis,; counted on with heart, mind and soul,
then suddenly broken into pieces, breaking it all
Hurting with a dagger of mistrust that lasts
So please do not make a promise to me
It's not fair to do, when you can't be certain it's true

Deb M Date: 5/4/2025 2:59:00 AM That's true Heidi broken promises can affect people in a very negative way...if its circumstances that's fine but when its no intention really in the first place that's wrong! We have suffered it in our lifetime at some stage. Debx Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 5/4/2025 4:56:00 AM True Deb. I agree. Thank you :)

Gershon Wolf Date: 5/3/2025 9:36:00 PM How about vows? ~ Marriage broker, lol. Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 5/4/2025 4:55:00 AM Good point. Yet anything can break that too. Loss of life , unforseen circumstances. I guess I see vowd a bit different than a daily general promise? :)

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 5/3/2025 3:23:00 PM Hello Heidi, Well said. I am thinking you got hurt very badly. I agree when a promise is made it should be kept. Hugs. /Darlene/ Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 5/3/2025 4:47:00 PM Hello Heidi, That is what i thought. Right, some people can not keep a promise. Huigs. /Darlene/ Heidi Sands Date: 5/3/2025 3:31:00 PM Yes , that did happen once. Then it got me thinking, there is no guarantee people can keep promise they say. Anything in life can happen or interfere. Thank you. Hugs :)
