Consistency

LAURA BROWN CROWELL

Words without deeds
Are like clouds without rain—
Fulsome, but futile,
Small comfort availing.
Consistency blesses the word and the deed;
A shining example is more than creed—
It is practice unfailing,
It is meeting a need;
And the words of the doer
Are safe in God's keeping.
