A Promise Kept



A Promise Kept, by Deborah Bennett

A winter’s night, a breeze so light,
A summer day, a sun so bright,
The moon so far, a twinkling star,
Love begins.

A loving hand, a golden band,
A pledge forever, nothing can sever,
Man and wife, together for life,
Two become one.

A child’s smile, a toy pile,
A warm bed, prayers said,
Peaceful sleep, memories to keep,
A family is born.

A church filled, a life stilled,
Hearts break, the soul awakes,
Death defeated, eternity greeted,
God’s promise kept!




Deborah is retired newspaper editor who believes that her love to write is a dream and gift from the Lord. This has led her to write, with the Lord's help, three devotional books and one children's book. The poems are from the last book, "Heir to a Throne" which she self-published on Amazon.
