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!)
Thanks for the extra verses Vera! Very good ones. 🙂
