The first pledge
Is to uphold in faith,
The prolongation within and without,
Of inviolable trust given to Father God and to Christ,
That this World be deemed most Holy,
And the cradling Powers at all times,
The only Life that will endure.
To Love unfailingly
Is not to doubt or decry;
It is a pledge made knowingly
That is given from an intelligent measuring
Within a mind and heart,
Full knowing of the difficulties
Which contrast and contrive against the Holy Powers;
And in a defiance to all antagonists,
A willingness to ever love more, regardless.
With this,
Though in sheer and ethereal form,
We combine with every being of every realm
Who does so wholeheartedly love.
I love this poem because of the sheer truth, the beautiful alive true words!
