      Actions speak louder than words

      That’s surely something you all will have heard

       

      Promises and lies year after year

      Why would people believe what they hear?

       

      If we really want to regain that trust

      Then by our actions we really must

       

      Show how much we mean it this time

      Our actions can show it’s not just a line

       

      If when we speak their trust is still fleeting

      Show them you mean it and get to a meeting

       

      If they think you’re trying to be funny

      Show them you’re serious and hand them your money

       

      They’ve heard it before, they may be rude

      So take them with you when you go to exclude

       

      Actions are louder it really is true

      So rather than words think “What can I do?”

      “Actions are louder , it really is true
      So rather than words think, “What can I do?”
      …………………………………………………………..
      I can quash the first thought
      I can “stomp on the bug”
      Postpone the next bet
      and withdraw from the “drug”
      I can then call a friend
      Tell them what I intend
      And remind myself always
      Where gambling will end!
      Do things differently
      Look for new company
      Be accountable, honest,
      To you and to me
      I can hand over cash
      Put credit cards in the trash
      Surrender my car keys
      Go down on my knees
      To pray or scrub floors
      Whatever it takes
      To keep me from making
      More stupid mistakes!
      Examine the tools
      That I got from GT
      To find out which one
      Today is for me
      I have no more excuses
      To use fancy words
      It’s time now for ACTION
      (GAMBLING IS FOR NERDS!)
