Moral Character Traits

From childhood, I was taught all about right and wrong, and because of those teachings my ethics are strong; Dad said to tell truths, keep promises, do not judge, be dependable, show respect, never begrudge. Mom told me to be tolerant, kind, and humble, they both said do this and your life will not crumble; be virtuous, have patience, seek justice for all, do all this and you will never hit a stone wall. ________________________ January 5, 2021 Poetry/Rhyme/Moral Character Traits Copyright Protected, ID 01-1318-794-05 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Morality sponsor, Mark Kaplin, Judged 01/12/21 Second Place

Jan, it was important to them to have well behaved kids and kids who knew right from wrong, not perfect kids but ones with a conscience _Constance

A life of character, values and class well chosen and well spoken Constance especially when we are seeing the utter collapse of values in so many. I like the the way you brought in the influence of both of your parents. Lovely creative rhymes. Congratulations and blessings to you!

Sam, thanks for the compliment and congratulations, I would often ask my parents even into adulthood what I should do about something happening in my life and the answer was you know what to do and they were right, the answer was in my morals _Constance
