Your Word?

It’s given out Freely – a Basic some Say,
To Those that We deal With – Meet Day to Day.
Not legally Binding at Least I am Told,
It’s value I feel is Worth more than Gold.

Some do Abuse it for Personal Gain,
Others profess It – Yet Use it in Vain.
It comes Down to Honor what Person are You,
When Speaking with Others – What Words do you Spew?

A Foe in Disguise or Valuable Friend,
Your Word meaning Zero or Kept ’til the End?
