Our personna, to the world, is what others perceive us to be, not who we believe ourselves to be.
The Measure of all People
By Franklin Price
5/23/2018
The measure of all people
Not in their stature or their size.
It's how they're observed by others,
How they're seen in others' eyes.
How they treat and how they're treated,
In their actions day to day.
Would others follow in their footsteps;
Allow them to lead the way?
Would others like to get to know them
And consider them a friend?
When they're no longer with us,
Will the memories never end?
For the good and bad among us
Be we many or just one
That's the measure of all people
When everything is said and done
It really is that simple.
I've told you all I can.
How you relate to others
Measures a woman or a man.
