standing on the promises

promises made to be broken?
passion’s romantic love turns cold
marriage vows end in divorce
friendships sometimes betrayed
how good is your word?
gossip gives slight exaggeration
everyone tells little white lies
who can be trusted?
God’s promises have always
proven faithful and true.

What a blessing to hear my grand daughter, Anna, spontaneously sing the classic hymn, “Standing on the Promises” while playing at my house…of course, I joined in!
Linked to dVerse poets’ quadrilles prompt hosted by Lillian.
Can’t account for the unusual format…thanks to WordPress 🙂
no news is good news?

“All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:8)

whatever our itching ears want to hear.
