He let me down once, she too disappointed me before <br />These are remarks nobody is happy to hear <br />It is generally said – promise is a debt! <br />Have you ever reneged on a promise? <br />Failure to keep a promise demonstrates that <br />You are unreliable, untrustworthy, erratic, <br />Inconsistent, undependable and unpredictable <br />It is far better not to make any promises <br />Than to make a promise and renege on it <br />What did you do on your last birthday? <br />Did you keep all the promises you made to yourself? <br />How many promises did you keep? <br />On your birthday before the last <br />You promised to love your wife more <br />You promised to take more care of the kids <br />You also promised to relax more and loosen up <br />How far did you keep the above promises? <br />I know you will come up with excuses <br />That the volume of work increased in the office <br />Which makes you tired whenever you get home <br />That the cold weather lasted too long <br />Which disoriented your entire well-being <br />Always remember that if there is true love <br />No excuse can and should stand in your way <br />To fulfill your commitments to your wife and kids <br />True love leads to genuine care for the family <br />If you keep your wife and kids are happy <br />The reflection bounces back on the husband <br />Which leads to overall family happiness <br />Remember; never make a promise you cannot keep<br /><br />Julius Babarinsa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-keeping-promises/
