Say --- Action

Prove It!

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Prove who you are

"People may say things

with good intentions,

but their actions prove

who they truly are"

We all have that one friend

or relative

who always promises to visit

and never does.

That one person

who always promises to help when we're in need

but seem to stay away from us.

And then there is that one friend

or relative

who is always there,

willing to help us,

no matter what.

He or she is always visiting,

or phoning,

or popping round with a loaf of bread,

and he or she really is a good friend

or relative.

Who are we?

Who am I?

Do I say I'll do something

and then 'duck out' at the last minute?

Or

do I actually 'do' what I say I'll do.

What kind of a reputation do I have?

"Their actions prove who they truly are".

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

    And that is my I don't make promises or give my word unless I know that I would definitely do it. Loved your poem!
