Is it a promise?…
A bright morning…the birds chirp…the sky a beautiful hue…a promise of a beautiful day
Hands intertwined…hearts given…vows exchanged…a promise of a bond of a lifetime
A hot summer’s afternoon…the sun hidden...the dark clouds dance …a promise of falling silver
A pregnant lady…hand on her belly…a curve on her lips….a promise of life and nurture
A handshake, firm and welcoming …a smile so bright… a promise of friendship and loyalty
A country of billions... a leader talks....a promise of hope and change
Aged and wizened, duties done, welcoming the deathly visitor...family around…an unsaid promise of care and devotion…
A word given to a child…a task to be done…an unbroken promise of trust and belief
A promise made...a word broken...the sound of shattering glass...never to mend

**A word given to a child…a task to be done…an unbroken promise of trust and belief
I think this can be a really difficult one to make, cos if you've made this one...be sure to keep it up or break hearts ...
very thoughtfully put together... i wonder how many promises will fall into the broken glass category by the end of time....
Brilliant. esp the last one.
loved 'a promise of life and nurture" very clever writing.. I also Loved the kite runner, hope the movie does it some justice
Ah! A bit of different take than I thought of for sure, but fresh and very appealing. So nice to see differences.
wonderful and very important list of promises......made from love and belonging.....
enjoyed the music too!
Wow!that was brilliant.
The broken-glass syndrome. A lovely and hopeful piece. I enjoyed The Kite Runner, too, but I felt the urge to cry for days after reading it...I've seen the author interviewed several times and he is an amazing person!

@ tumble words...
you cannot help but be moved to tears with 'the kite runner'.. i'm waiting to hear the audio version. i hear its briliant!
My turn, my turn :) Applause and more applause. Very beautifully done..so many emotions centered on promises kept and like glass can easily broken if not handled with care. But they do leave a long lasting mark either way. Striving to keep those promises is life really, is it not? Loved the thoughts that came to mind after the read, thank you.
lovely post!
I cant promise anything but I know I really love my blog-mates :)
Keshi.
promises... as days pass by, I realize that they are difficult to keep than to make!
keeping up your promises, however difficult they are is probably what makes life worth living!
Its a lovely post and I lived a few emotions as I read through.
