Covenant to My Ten

 Covenant to My Ten

From our connection comes rejection, nowhere to hide,

I pledge to stay standing right here at your side,

When ego rises and pushes apart,

I will not run from the work of the heart.

When distance appears and the darkness is shown,

I will remember I’m never alone,

For every resistance the soul must face

Is the Creator preparing a place.

I pledge now to hold to the line,

To see all your greatness and make it mine,

To bow to the friends when pride wants to win,

And ask for the strength to include us within.

If anger or judgment begins to arise,

I’ll fight for our love, not the ego’s disguise,

I’ll pray for your hearts before praying for me,

That in our connection the Creator will be.

No matter the fall, the shame, or the strain,

I p;edge here to return again,

To build what we can’t as one man alone—

A place in our bond where He makes His home.
