The Sacred Pledge of Love
When a pledge of love is given,
it becomes a bond...a sacred trust;
not something to be broken,
like the smashing of a cold, ceramic bust.
The pledge binds the two together;
two lovers merge as one;
their hearts and souls united;
never to be undone.
'What God has joined together,
let no man put asunder.'
These words are powerful indeed,
but sometimes I have to wonder.
Does the pledge of love
mean anything to anyone today;
or is it freely given,
and tomorrow taken away?
Does anyone really care
about the meaning of their words,
as they pledge their love to one another,
only to break that pledge undeterred?
