The Promise

The Promise

Too often we forget

That we were happy some days

And too often we forget

The negative influences

That ruin our lives.

We do not want to be told

That we can compromise

And we do not want to be told

That we are wrong

Our lives become lonely.

We are ready to accept bad advice

From people with hidden motives

But good advice from loved ones

Are often discarded

We become filled with guilt and sorrow.

Too often we remember

The terrible things we endured

And too often we let it run our lives

We can forgive and forget

Else we live in a vacuum.

Let’s live in harmony

Let negative influences fall

For positive thoughts and actions

Will fill the space

Within our hearts.
