I have seen people hold their line because the aftereffects of their decision are not held important. Yet the scars that are left on the lives of children whose parents decided to end it continue to escalate. I doubt if there are many couples who intend to break their wedding vows the day they stand before each other and witnesses as the minister pronounces them man and wife. Yet, it is becoming more evident that a considerable amount of those who say I do do not realize the importance of keeping ones word. When a promise is made, others are dependent upon that declaration.
Promises broken always deal out hurt and anguish.
This is what I was thinking about as I began to compose this song. I wanted to write something that would communicate musically to others that ones word is the most important thing that could be given to another. Out of this thought, Promises Given was born. I sang it with an acoustic guitar. As I sang the song to them I could see that their hearts were moved.
