To See the True Man

If you want to know who a man is It's not in his life but how he lives You can't see it through fortune or fame It's not whether everyone knows his name It's not in his money, fancy clothes or cars Or if he rubs elbows with mega stars A big income and large house are just status symbols Through them the true man you won't witness It's not his physical strength and how much he can lift The true man that will never depict It's not if he wins or loses a fight You won't see it in toughness or might A man is defined by what's in his heart The kindness and care he does impart How he treats the people he is around That is where the true man will be found If you want to know who a man is inside To see the soul that in him resides You have to look at what's reflected in his heart To see the true man that's where you should to start Proverbs 27:19 As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects a man -C.A.Saputo xoxo
