When someone shares a secret
Do you hide it in your heart
Do you honor the promise given
To always keep it locked ?
If not –
Whose secrets have you betrayed ?
Whose boat have you just rocked ?
Whose confidence have you bartered ?
Hose dignity have you socked ??
If yes –
A listening ear
A sealed mouth
Will ensure respect
Without a doubt
So
Be careful
Whom you vent to
And always be on guard
For covering up spilt secrets is indeed very hard
Respect the privacy of others
As you would want your own
For words are heard to catch
Once they have already flown.

A poem of good advice, integrity, and fidelity. Very nicely stated in poetic form.
nowadays we find very few people respecting someone's privacy or the need for keeping someone's confidence..
thanks for the feedback..
Dear Safina, you offer sage advice here. A strong composition. Well done. All good wishes.
thank you so much. so nice to hear from you.
this is something that i really believe in - if one is taken in confidence, one should not allow a listening ear to be a running mouth..
have a lovely weekend
There is so much truth herein .. to break a sacred promise is such a major crime .. I could have said sin but it would have rhymed and felt the seriousness of the topic would have declined .. Hope you get my drift anyway .. well penned my literary friend .. Neville
yes i am also quite convinced that it is something to be always avoided - if someone trusts you - it is a sacred duty to keep it
thank you so much for your candid comments. Really appreciate your feedback.
Powerful work.
thank you, Sir
have a great day
