some men are not pretentious
they have integrity and honor
I admire these men most greatly
they walk with God by their side
someday I wish to have a friend
like these men with character
respectable, honest, impeccable,
only thing is they are very rare
like a shiny dazzling diamond
so precious, flawless, and valuable
integrity and honor are so beautiful
and some men have it absolutely
* dedicated to Perry

xIt is saddening to think that these traits are become so rare these days, Sunprincess. Worry not, though, for there are still men around who walk with the Lord and unabashedly live their lives in an honorable way, my friend.

xOur world is increasingly less tolerant of those who possess integrity and value honor. Sometimes, so intolerant, it kills them. A lovely poem, S, advocating more upward reach; less settling for mediocrity.

I read this poem and was just about to comment on it...then I saw the dedication. Humbled to tears and unworthy. Integrity is all about seeking the eternal...rejecting passivity...being willing to lead courageously...and accepting responsibility. I am a work in progress and I AM your friend.

Integrity and Honor are rare virtues! In life, seldom do we find such people! By our good luck, if we do find someone with impeccable character, then, indeed, we are seated next to God. Beautifully expressed!
