A Promise In All Poem by Sharron Stephenson

watch the words from these eyes of
mine
hear the cries from the painful lips
check the change of a cup of lies
from the soul of the ears

challenge the leaves of heat and hurt
memorize the promise to a heart

cross the hand together along the line
of peace and comfort

make a friend find a lover from
the strangers in the world

take a walk in the depths of a
crumbled mind and start to
mend the misery which parts the
strong and bad in all
