SAND PROMISES

SAND PROMISES Some promises are set firm in stone Foundations supporting them forever Yet in a tide’s constant ebb and flow Others get washed away in the sand A pity, but often easy to understand Well-meant, yet are unsecured below Unable to survive inclement weather And unworthy to ascend any throne

I think it is true that sand promises are "well-meant." It is sad to me that that is just what happens, the way it goes. Your last line reminds me that the Bible speaks against those sand promises, and we are warned to not make those. Congrats on your win in my contest.
