Constance La France Poet Rhyme

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.

Sam Kauffman January 13, 2021 at 9:19 AM 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! Constance La France January 13, 2021 at 1:15 PM 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
