Learning and Character

Not enough your fingers are deft,
Persons with great skills have been left.
You were found worthy in Learning,
What about Sound Character?
Yours: Good Academic Leaning 
How as good: Moral Director?

Never one-sided but dual:
Sense and Morals ever mutual,
The one is the other’s brother;
One lost will bother The Other,

Sense shown without morals a ploy
Morals not backed by Sense kill joy…
