Writers Island " Promise"

"Releasing Love to the Universe"
Acrylic done on canvas paper

Writers Island Prompt "Promise"


The Promise

A promise tied in blood

Honoring

The nurture of our mother

The wisdom of our father


Who encouraged

Camaraderie

Compassion,

Unconditional love


Bonding a brother

And sister

In times of sorrow

Blunder and Ire


Passionately

We preserve

The legacy

Of the lovers


Upholding

Our family

Constitution

With devotion


To each other

And our progeny

Preserving tradition

Intimate conversation


Respect for individuality

Diverse solutions

During tribulations

While salvaging memories


We are reminded

Of the importance

Of protecting that bond

With reverence


The promise

Of love forever

No matter who

No matter what


Lives on

I like everything about this. The painting is just the right accompaniment to your poem. Your words are so true and so meaningful.

Oh, I love the last line of promise live on and the lack of ending in those words. Promises floating forever, landing where they will. Yum!

Pure joy. What an ideal world you seem to be writing about. If it's yours then I envy you.

One of the best things a parent can do is to ensure strong ties between siblings.. Your parents were wonderful.. they got that message across and you and your brother are better because of it. Truly loving tribute to him and of course to your parents Sherrie. Absolutely moving xox

Thanks for your comment on my poem on ReadWriterPoem. I love Scrabble but haven't gone to that site yet, but will soon! Mostly I've been playing Literati on yahoo games.

I like this poem, too!

Without family, where would we be? I've often wondered how each member can be so different and still come from the same nest. The promise is what counts! Nice post!
