Your Word Is Your Honour

Your word is your honour your word do not break And you keep your promise when a promise you make And though those who go back on their word never feel any shame Your word and your honour are one of the same. You may be the wealthiest person in the Town And your's may be more than a local renown But if you've been known to go back on your word people of you will say That person to honour respect does not pay. Without documented proof your word is useless in a Court of Law And from that perhaps a conclusion you can draw That without proof on paper 'twould seem all is lost And your day in Court to you at a great financial cost. Still your word is your honour and that's how it should be And to break your word is dishonourable that's how it seems to me And those who dishonour their word are those you cannot trust Since a promise made is seen as sacred to the honest and just.
