Our Pledge Remembered

In sickness and in health:
In poverty and in wealth:
Till death do us part:
It was what we said at the start.
But words spoken in haste,
Were only a foretaste.
Of what now we are living,
Because life's not so forgiving;
But to make us partake,
Of the things which we spake.
But they can be swallowed ,
If God's words will be followed,
So, God help me today, to lead Thee through this dark,
With these words that he gave us when we at first did embark.
For just as I said when our journey did start:
My promise to you is till death we do part!
