Honor

Honor, is the word I use,
as I journey through this life!
To express the high regard I have,
for my children, and my wife!

In golf, the one with Honors,
is the first one, off the tee.
Sometimes, a school pays homage,
with an Honorary Degree!

There a several ways, to Honor folks.
For things like fame and valor,
achievements like, heroic deeds,
or being, a top scholar.

We acknowledge “Men of Honor”.
We honor those who died in war,
and those dedicated scientists,
for the research they explore!

“Your Honor”, that’s how we address,
our Judges and our Mayors!
We Honor folks of high esteem! 
We Honor God, with prayers.

Whatever the occasion,
when accolades are handed out,
be assured, the Honor given,
is well deserved, I have no doubt!


It's my HONOR to submit this poem

Honor is often one of the most underestimated qualities. The importance of honor can distinguish the men from the boys. I love this poem! :)
