The Measure of a Man

How do you measure The worth of a man Is it in all the work He does with his hands Or in those he knows He counts on as friends Is it in how he finishes Is it how he begins Is it in how he fly's Or in how he lands Is it his trust in God When he doesn't understand Is it when the odd's say he can't But he still feels that he can Is it where he draws the line And where he makes his stand Or how he reacts When there's nothing left Is this how you measure The worth of a man
