In my experience
between the two
I'm not naming names
but what people say
and what they do
are not always
one and the same
as they don't follow through
life gets in the way
I understand
but that's no reason
not to let me know
there's been a change of plan
when told I'll call
give you a ring is when
I know I'll never
hear from them ever again
all in all
it's quite disappointing
and if nothing else
totally frustrating
Blank sheet, taunting me
Daring the person I used to be
To blurt it out, let words flow free
But too deep into my insecurity
I have drowned, no hope for me
What happened to my pen and pad therapy
My safe place, infiltrated by doubt
Nothing from within, brave enough to come out
Generic pairings of letters seeking clout
Simple ramblings, who knows what they’re about
Any ounce of approval, no matter the amount
Rusty thoughts like the abandoned Tin Man
Cobwebbed brain needing “oil can”
Hoping out there is just one fan
Follow through, girl, you made a plan
Follow through with your word
Soar as high as you can
Victory awaits you
Carry on with your plan
All of the tools are there
Utilize them wisely
Greatness is within you
Remember to speak succinctly
Follow through on your words
Continue on with your dream
Let no one discourage you
No matter how hard the battle may seem
Visualize being your best
Adjust those sails
Be the one with a positive force
Eventually, you will prevail
Life is filled with trepidation
For both the young and old
But with a little dedication
Following through will take hold
Just follow through, your told
Remember when learning to bat
The ball went sailing by
Dad said there’s nothing that you lack
Just follow through and it will fly
Just follow through and it will fly
When a cute girl got your attention
And you had a chance to meet
How to ask her out, was the question
Just follow through; she’ll think you’re sweet
Just follow through; she’ll think you’re sweet
Then college was a load to manage
Too many choices blew the mind
Though was told to get an advantage
Just follow through; don’t fall behind
Just follow through; don’t fall behind
I was on the edge for marriage to begin
But afraid to make that committal
Yet, she’d follow me through thick and thin
Just following through answered the riddle!
Following through answers all riddles!
Rushing rivers, quiet waters,
they go hand in hand where er'e they flow.
They Follow Through!
They Follow Through!
Simple sinners, merciful saviour,
they go hand in hand, for by Grace, salvation is given.
They Follow Through!
They Follow Through!
