Array ( [sid] => 153447 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => THE MEASURE OF THE MAN [time] => 2009-09-20 16:55:23 [hometext] => [bodytext] =>
The measure of the man
shall not be measured by his worth,
it should be measured by how many friends
he had while here on earth.
But even more important
more than all the friends he made,
was how he lived his life
and the honour he displayed.

The measure of the man
shall not be measured by his word,
it should be measured by the deeds he did
and not what he inferred.
But even more important
more than all the deeds fulfilled,
was the way he lived his life
and the truths that he instilled.

The measure of the man
shall not be measured by his schemes,
they should be measured by his actions
and the completion of his dreams.
But even more important
and even more than he possessed,
it is the measure of the man
that defines him from the rest.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
