Vow Poem by Randy McClave

Vow



I made myself a solemn promise
That was committed to a prescribed role
It was a calling and a course of action
I was going to commit my word and then my soul.

To another person I will give my pledge
A bond and a contact will be between us both
Together we both with live by that agreement
As I then I will give my own personal oath.

Not under penalty of law or fear do I give it
It is my own individual word of honor and belief
It is a declaration from my heart and of virtue
I give it with joy and happiness and not any grief

GOD will listen to the word that I will speak
As though to him I will give my own private prayer
So I give my heart with all honesty and truth
As I say that I will be or do, so I honestly swear

The words that I will give are binding
And through them no man can ever plow
This transaction is my own sacred covenant
Under faith and belief I now give my vow.
