The Worth of a Man

I wrote this for a fellow I have met on a website a short time ago. We have exchanged a few stories in fan fiction, and one of his pieces inspired this one.

The Worth of a Man

Some place his value in dollars;

When it should be in his deeds.

Some ask what he gets from others;

Not how he fills their needs.

Real value is in family;

And in vows so truly kept.

Not whether in mansion or hovel;

That his family has slept.

A man's value is in honour;

And his true place we can behold.

It's in love of his fellow man;

That his worth is surely told.
