Enduring Promise

You are tender
and heart 
       does easy bruise
kind and thoughful
unlike those
       who easy use
with understanding 
overlooking
        frailties
and have provided
promises        
        which ever please
how gently
         you embraced me
and with your mantle
         draped
took me in and knew me
where your love
         in me was shaped
left me with your token
a seal set 
          upon my heart
it bespeaks your promise
in loyalty ne'er
           to depart
 
Heb 6:16-20
