Convenientem

Hand --- shake, pinky --- cross, mouth --- word.

Simple assurances of a reality deferred.

Finger --- ring, hand --- sign, promises form,

Covenant, effort, its fulfillment, the norm.

What is life, if not faith persevering?

What is faith, if not promise adhering?

What is promise, if not fulfillment appearing?

What is fulfillment, if not belief endearing?

Because He promised me.
