But you promised!
I said.
(My voice is a squeak)
Tears sit, pulsating in the cracks of my eyes.
My torso wretches.
I remember - I remember so clearly!
You told me!
You said that the blessings were coming!
And here I've been waiting -
I've done everything!
Everyth-
Peace.
It shall come to pass in due time*
Humble yourself therefore under the mighty hand of God,
That he may exalt you in due time.*
Fear not:
Peace be unto thee,
Be strong,
Yea, be strong.*
