Definition of a Person

The color of one’s skin doesn’t define the person It’s the persons character and soul that defines them The strength of their heart and the wisdom of past years Letting go of the past and the flood of shed tears The courage one bestows to protect and move on And the fear one admits when one has done wrong Hope that they spread to the weary and weak Forgiveness to all who had done a bad deed The loyalty one shows to all in their hearts Understanding to all those who had to part But most importantly is the love that they show That defines the person s character, mind, and soul.
