Integrity
Mark Jenkins 1979 (Texas)
June 22A personal virtue of strength
That tells a lot about your character.
Integrity goes the full length;
To your soul, it's a defending factor.
Having integrity helps one's self;
Keeping the truth... tossing lies to the wind;
Grabbing your own courage off the shelf;
Morally... Take your stand and do not bend.
Integrity is honesty firmly put,
No compromising, no corruption.
It's where your eyes gaze, the placement of your foot,
Not wavering to disruption!
Your integrity will one day be measured,
Not the title(s) you may behold.
After life is over and you have endured,
Integrity will be worth gold!
About this poem
With years ago when all I had was my integrity and didn't get it go.
