The truest measure of a man,
is not the depth of his pockets,
rather the depth of his soul.

The truest measure of a man,
is not that he touched you,
rather the way he touched you.

The truest measure of a man,
is not the warmth of his fire,
rather the warmth of his heart.

The truest measure of a man,
is not that he is loved by many,
rather his ability to love just one.

Amanda,
That's a wonderful write. I like it a lot!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
