Keeping a Keeper

Dedicated to my Covenant Sisters.

I am a defender of my agreements
A steward of my pledges
And a caretaker of my allies…
Even as they ad-vise…
Me.

When I make a promise I keep it.
I focus on it.
I cherish it.
I seek assistance of spiritual sisters and brothers
to support me as I become ‘one’ with it.

They express their devotion for me
By encouraging me
To keep my pacts intact
Because keeping a Keeper is an act - - of love,
In fact…

They keep me - keeping my covenant
With the Creator
And I find my purpose to be much greater
Than I first thought
Because if I live as I ought
I will be keeping my Keepers as they keep me.
I will be keeping my Keepers as they keep-THEIR-covenant
As they were meant
To have their lifetime spent.

The Hebrew word berith, (covenant),

occurs over 280 times in the Old Testament.
And translates in English to mean

"a coming together."

So I contrive to strive to continue my journey
To “come together” with my purpose
To be one with my spiritual understandings
To join in harmony with my convictions
Without carnal contradictions
That makes a purposeless life
Worthless.
And I know all the hard work is
worth this…
Covenant Keeping.
