A man of his words <br />I could never be <br />Nor a man of deeds <br /> <br />Oftener time my commitments <br />Lay broken like shards of glass <br />Dead as the trampled seeds! <br /> <br />Good words are easier said <br />Good deeds are not easier done <br />Words not kept are loan unpaid <br />Good work left undone! <br /> <br />It’s sad that oftener time I fail <br />Spoken words I let them rust <br />If I weigh myself in an honest scale <br />I have been too long unjust! <br /> <br />Good deeds undone are forever lost <br />Good words are wasted dearly <br />When I think of the ones it cost <br />I can’t say I feel heavenly!<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-man-of-words-3/
