Tcepser-The Poem Riddles Volume 2

Everybody wants me but they can't have me; I am earned not given; If you do this to 
yourself you will have self esteem and morals; How can you say you know me, and not show 
me towards your mother or father; If you have me, no matter where you go or what you do 
you can hold your head up high; If you want me you must earn me and I will stay with you 
until you die; If you try to show me to every one, every one should show me to you; If you 
do this to GOD your life line will remain true; Everybody wants me but they can't have me; 
What am I? I am Respect!
