Two Shoes Tuesday ~~ Another Poem (of sorts)

.
Words Broken;
God's Plan?

Promises are only words -- silly words?
They say sticks and stones can break my bones. Still,
words can never hurt me.  First grade lesson






Will it still be a promise I've made if
I cross my fingers? You betcha it will
No one's there, will a falling tree make noise?

"To have and to hold, from this day forward,
for better, for ... to love ... to cherish, till
death do us part, ... God's holy ordinance"*

Promises are meant to be kept -- God's Law
Will it hurt when a promise is broken?
You betcha it will -- no mere silly words
