The Measure of a Man
The measure of a man Not, how did he die, But, how did he live? Not, what did he gain, But, what did he give.
Not, what was his station, But, did he have a heart? How did he play his God-given part? Not, what is his shrine? Nor, what was his creed? But, did he befriend those really in need? Not, what did the piece in the newspaper say.
But, how many were sorry that he passed away? Was he ever ready with a word of good cheer, To bring back a smile, To banish a tear?
These are the units to measure the worth of a man, as a man, Regardless of birth.
