Marked Commitments

He was committed
to his job 
all hours of the day

He was committed
to his wife,
to cherish and obey

He was committed
to his loved ones,
there in every way

He was committed
to his family –
they all came first for him

He was committed
to the whole world,
from last to next of kin

He was committed
to being of service,
through thick and also thin

And then

He was committed
