Without Fear Or Favour

Without fear or favour, Will you be remembered for this kind of behaviour? Or will your epitaph be of a different flavour. Will you be remembered as having no backbone? Staying on your cell phone, While others are cut to the bone. Will you have showed how tough your love can be? Or will you have preferred to wait and see, What our re-action would be. Has, fear of being out of favour? Ruled your behaviour, In place of Love your neighbour. Is fear or favour been motivating your behaviour? When others ask you a favour, Knowing the consequences could be dour. Without fear or favour, Is it possible for extremism to sour? The news every hour.

You are too kind Carl. But thank you. I hope you are well. I try to live up those words but have been fortunate that others have lived up to them in past to give example to follow if and when time comes. Best regards David in NZ
