Do You Keep Your Word

Do keep your word!
Tis you, it serves.
Your fellow man.
Does all he can.

Grow like a tree
Sing joyfully.
Space for others?
Need no mothers.

Allow for mistakes.
Give people breaks.
Acting perfect?
Has an effect.

Humility~
Integrity~
Alacrity~
Serenity~

We all make mistakes sometimes but I strive to keep my word at all times. I'm never afraid to admit when I'm wrong. Tom

Great food for thought. A lot of people don’t keep their word. They just have zero integrity.

One word broken, anywhere in the world, keeps the world in a mess. We might all do it from time to time. Our job is to clean up our own messes. Mucking about, pointing fingers at others, does no good. With no integrity, life does not work. Pangie
