Broken Promises

Are you a person who keeps his promises or breaks them all the time Take the one most people at New Years make to themselves after that last bottle of wine The old saying I am a man of my word what does that really mean How about our governments and what they claim they are going to do for us ,why do they not just come clean A broken promise can cause a great deal of pain to the person you make it to Take for instance your wedding vows over fifty percent of the people never follow through Or how about the old classic , I promise to never do that again It is not a question of the person breaking the promise it is a question of when Accountability for our actions should not magically disappear By not being on time it can cause a cascading effect and make it impossible for other people to keep their promises I fear If we want our children to stick to their word , an example we must surely set Actions do indeed speak louder than words , keep your promises it's something you won't regret
