Spoken Promises
Spoken promises, said not broken.
They are deep within me where nothing can escape.
I am the promises, my essence; selfsame.
Given to me by them; they who knew I am deserving.
This I question, yet these are words of those who knew.
I must trust and prove my worth.
Before my breathe became me, they knew.
They are within me, my walk, talk and the rhythm of my movement.
They knew, I know; as the years pass; it becomes unmistakable.
I must instruct others on the promises given.
All must know the promises and carry on.
My time has not ended, much work to be done.
Speaking to me continually.
