I Think That...(thoughts on words and promises)

Words… are so easy to say
Promises, ne’er so hard to keep

Words… easily written
Promises, not to be shallow or deep

Words…so effortlessly uttered
Promises, should never be broken

Words…so unthinkingly muttered
Promises, not given only in token

Words…so empty… so easy to say
Promises… never just idle notions

Words should be true in every way…and
Promises be pledges of devotions
