A Letter From A Friend

In you my sacred word I did endow,
in a single word, I made a vow!
My word is true, as the long day’s sun,
my truth you could always rely upon!
Though time has gone since we last spoke,
your words my memory they do invoke!
As in your letter I reach the last page
it prompts my eyes with tears to engage!
For my promise to you I cannot fulfil
you see my friend, I am much too ill!
