What's your word worth? Value placed upon one's own shows integrity & depth of character. |
“I promise I'll never let you down” On any turn or any round Promises are made, but they don't keep Our dreams have died and so we weep A promise is a promise, a wise man once said He knew the chances, and now he's dead He was promised the world, but could not linger There is more truth in my little finger Why make a promise...why bother to speak Integrity is not just a word, it's a paddle up the creek Keeping all who know us in the light A promise is the line between black and white We live in a world that's painted grey And a promise is something we just say Like the grease that helps a machine to glide But, a broken promise means someone lied It's not a deliberate act...so no big deal Until the bitter truth makes its reveal When anger and disappointment come to the fore Honour and integrity walk out the door A promise is your word; worth more than gold But for some folk, it's cheaply sold You get what you pay for, so the saying goes Broken promises are worthless, and it really shows When you keep your word...you keep your friends And there's never a need to make amends A promise is a promise, and I promise you this When you keep yours you are never remiss |
