Mark My Word
Our words are our bond
so the saying goes
when this is our reputation
to all both friends and foe
So in all that we say
careful must be our cue
our every word speaks for us
telling what we may do
When someone else says so
their words we take as real
making sure their seriousness
as the effects we will feel
The written and spoken word
both have the power to speak
sometimes piercing one's heart
crumbling one so very weak
Your word has also great power
to encourage and uplift
so seek to do just that
realise truly you have a gift
