Keeping Your Word

November 11, 2019 9:11am CST
I wish people would do what they say Not wait days upon days Not finding a way to complete the job Now they look like a snob Keeping your word Don't agree to make promises Keeping your word Then flake out at the last minute Keeping your word You knew the end was near The end of this year Keeping your word I don't expect much from people No one ever exceeds my expectations They all try to lowball This is why I do everything myself This is my own work!

A word is always sacred to me - verbal or written. A word bespeaks of the kind of person one is. We can judge a person by the words that come out of his mouth. In my country, a promised word is held with honor, that is why we have an adage called Palabra de Honor, or Word of Honor.

@shades88 Your poem is perfect. It says it all. There are those you can count on and those you cannot. It is very sad.
