The Promise

By ErikaLeigh Kozlowski

It’s a sacred promise made in true love

It’s a hope kept through many lonely years

But the love inside is pure and strong

It’s a promise kept with the Lord’s strength

A grasp that holds us through the sorrow

And releases us into a beautiful bond

We hold on knowing the struggle is worth it

Knowing that the joy is far greater in the end

More than that, it’s a calling from the Lord

A command he gave us for our good

And so we shall wait for that beautiful day

The day when God finally grants us the joy

The tears from our lonely, aching hearts

Will turn to tears of thankfulness and laughter

Like a flower that blooms in the spring

When the Lord finally brings us that someone

The one person to be ours

May it be, even now, a sacred moment
