Keep Your Promise

Wrapped by your mother

Given on your birthday

You are a gift to the world

A promise yet unfurled

If life has its way

A precious gift to the world

Are you a promise to fulfill

Or a broken vow tossed

Into an infinite landfill

It is not about what you have

It is not about what you take

It’s about what you bring to the table

It’s about what you give

Willing and able

It’s not what you receive

But more the legacy you leave

A promise yet unfurled

Your true gift to the world

A target not to miss

The goal…

Keep your promise
