There’s nothing like a promise
To change a person’s life
It can be either insignificant
Or monumental with strife
A promise is to be kept
Above all else it matters
For when a promise is kept
The end result, it flatters
A promise is a sacred thing
Not to be taken lightly
Above all else must be fulfilled
And try to do it rightly
For if you ever break one
It’s something hard to mend
Because trust has been broken
Your honesty, hard to defend
Because a promise is a promise
Something you’re expected to do
If you fail you’ll never forget
It will come back to torment you
