Analysis of Well Kept Resolutions
Your word is your bond chiefly to yourself
The well kept resolution
has to be top-shelf
Your bond is your truth verified by facts
The well kept resolution
has to show in acts
Your truth is your faith ratified by hope
The well kept resolution
has to help you cope
Your faith is your trust identified by deeds
The well kept resolution
has to link big needs
Your trust is your view clarified by choice
The well kept resolution
has to have a voice
Your view is your way mostly for yourself
The well kept resolution
has to be top-shelf
