Promise Me This

A promise said is a promise made
With time it doesn't fade
To keep a promise one had to
do what they said they would do.

Breaking a promise is more than just
stop doing what you must
Making a promise is easy to do
Find me a person who keeps it too

Now and then and time again
Something in the heart of men
Does not keep the words it made
The bond of trust and friendship made

To make a promise or not to make
Is a decision we need to take
With heart and mind and soul too
Make a promise and keep it too
