Paper Promise

Made in a moment, the promise lasts long after the words describing it. It changes. It grows. And the decision rightly made is shown beneath the baring light of time.

Like any paper promise, the handling makes all the difference. It can be carelessly considered, eventually lost and left to litter the ground. So too might it be thrown away, discarded in search of another. Yet even the softest or most delicate paper promise, kept, may last forever.

Folded and tucked away like the memory of a new love, the perfect paper promise keeps close to the heart that chooses it. Though its words and sentiments last as long as their makers allow, the mere act of keeping them becomes its own new promise each day. Those vows, too, line the winding way toward heaven, well.
