Promises

Ever go to bed at night and pray that

tomorrow will be a better day? You

swear and promise that you will then

begin anew. This is typically a human

nature thing to do. Dreams, for the most

part, are lost anyway the moment you

wake. You open your eyes and rise. And

when your feet hit the floor, you realize

that dreams are easily forgotten or

negotiated away. And promises, although

well-intended, are not that hard to break,

especially when exposed to the light of

a new day.
