Promise from Fable (2010) by Roesy

Daddy said, "Son,
always know—
what you reap, son,
is what you sow.
Promise me you’ll never forget,
promise you’ll never forget."

"Look at our boy, dear,
he’s grown up strong.
Leave the nest here,
but keep your song.
Promise me you’ll never forget,
promise you’ll never forget."

To be fair and truthful,
make your life full,
and have faith when the colours turn blue.

Then came the fortune
that the game
can give a young man
to make him lame.
Still, he promises he’ll never forget,
promised he’d never forget.

Years fly by now,
there’s never time.
All but memories
have lost their shine.
He thought that he’d never forget,
thought he’d never forget.

To be fair and truthful,
make this life full,
and have faith when the colours turn blue.

Now from the ruin comes the man,
with all the future in his hands.
Promises he’ll never forget,
promises he’ll never forget.

To be fair and truthful,
make this life full,
and have faith when the colours turn blue.
And have faith when the colours turn blue.
To have faith when the colours turn blue.
