THE BROKEN PROMISE

By : C-Tsah Diaries

Tender and truthful

Authentic also beautiful

Terms that best described you

We made a promise

But your life full of bumps

Forced you to break our promise

Our promise is broken into ashes

You were as true as the day

From my life you have slipped away

The sun has set without a warning

The river that yesterday was flooding

Today is as dry as bone

So soon you have gone

The flower has withered

With our promise crashed

Now that our promise is demolished

Though failed we to save you from being devoured

My hope stands still

Till the day I lay my eyes on you again

The hope that rest in no other but the Everlasting Arms

Now that you are no more

My heart bathes in sorrow

I haven’t cherished life enough

I delighted in things that bringes not my own eternal good

I haven’t thanked God enough

But rather chose to displease my Owner

By doing things that glorify Him not

Teach me to be good oh LORD

And never break my promise

Blessed are you

That you have left this scourging pot

Where toil and suffering is sulfur to the burning charcoal

But when my time comes

LORD no matter how fierce the battle will be

I wanna be ready

Until then

I will miss you beloved

Let me do those things that please you oh LORD

That I may dwell in your comfort

That the day may find me ready

Only to break  another one’s promise

In memory of the little pretty girl. I met her in Dowa Secondary School, Isabel Mbewe. She was so beautiful and smart, and young full of tenderness and loved by many. She has gone so soon, 5^th July 2017. May her soul rest in eternal peace. I will miss you beloved~ Priscillah Chitsanzo Chimukho Kwawilira.
