Christine Saputo Poet Rhyme

To See the True Man

If you want to know who a man is
It's not in his life but how he lives 
You can't see it through fortune or fame 
It's not whether everyone knows his name 

It's not in his money, fancy clothes or cars
Or if he rubs elbows with mega stars
A big income and large house are just status symbols 
Through them the true man you won't witness 

It's not his physical strength and how much he can lift
The true man that will never depict 
It's not if he wins or loses a fight 
You won't see it in toughness or might

A man is defined by what's in his heart 
The kindness and care he does impart 
How he treats the people he is around 
That is where the true man will be found 

If you want to know who a man is inside 
To see the soul that in him resides 
You have to look at what's reflected in his heart 
To see the true man that's where you should to start 

                   Proverbs 27:19 
As water reflects a face, so a man's heart  reflects a man 

                  -C.A.Saputo xoxo
