What It's Worth

A word of mouth is free to express To talk is cheap, but written is best Our actions can cause us a fall-from-grace Apologies are paid when made face-to-face Trust can't be bought, it's something that's gained No guarentee if broken it will be replaced Promises are made, then they're forgotten It's promises kept which become priceless Vow's are what's used to make a new start They're how we give away a piece of our heart Time is of value that we all let pass We pay for the seconds from first breath till last Faith is invisible to the naked eye It's a leap to the unknown, on a path we walk blind Hope is the want's in which we all need The desires we wish for and pray may be Love is a sacrifice and sometimes it hurts But we suffer the pain to see that it works And life is a gift we recieve when we're born What it's worth Taken for granted, leaving us to mourn....
