Fund Your Promises

​

We speak the words, we make the call,
We set the goal, we claim it all.
"I'll meet you there," "I'll see it through,"
Yet often fail to make it true.

Fund your promise, make it real,
Back it up with steps and skill.
If you want your word to last,
Plan ahead and move steadfast.

A promise left without a base,
Becomes a dream we soon replace.
Intentions bright, but plans run thin,
Without a map, we won’t begin.

We say, "I'll finish by the date,"
Yet fail to structure, plan, or rate.
To fund a goal, we must prepare,
With time and steps placed firm with care.

Fund your promise, make it real,
Back it up with steps and skill.
If you want your word to last,
Plan ahead and move steadfast.

The reasons why we turn away,
Are rooted deep in short-delay.
To keep things light, avoid the strain,
We trade the work for fleeting gain.

We dodge the weight of saying no,
Avoid the truth of what we owe.
We bask in dreams of what could be,
And let the future hold the fee.

But trust is built on what we do,
Not empty words that fall askew.
If we commit, let’s fund it right,
And pave the path with guiding light.

Fund your promise, make it real,
Back it up with steps and skill.
If you want your word to last,
Plan ahead and move steadfast.

No more leaving steps undone,
No more promises overrun.
We shape our fate with every vow,
So let’s fund our promises—starting now!
