A harridan or a fool,
But I think you should live your life,
By one good set of rules,

Treat people with care and respect,
Always be honest and true,
Be kind and gentle and selfless,
And they will do the same for you,

Love and be loved sincerely,
Never bear a grudge,
Have the strength to say you are wrong,
For then no one else will judge,

Speak your truth clearly,
Never tell a lie,
For untruths they stay with you,
Until the day you die,

Always be yourself in life,
Don't be taken in,
To be someone you really aren't,
Is really a terrible sin,

Give yourself the goals to reach,
But just try at your own pace,
Give and take is the best advice,
For this life is not a race,

So all in all be yourself,
And live your life that way,
Take each day like its your last,
And live your life today

I firmly concur Sue-
and what a splendid title.. (the rules of life as I see it)
truth is not only the greatest of virtues but also,
the one and only thing by which, the greatest of life can be had-
if even in the final moments.
and dare I say, this is truly, the most enjoyable of all your many works dear..

As always-
