What decides the making of a man's worth As he leaves his mark upon this earth Great wealth, degrees, to tell all he's done Or tears that are shed when he passes on Will gold buy a pass through the gates made of pearl When finally passing from this mortal world Will pieces of silver place his name in Life's Book To find a man's value needs a deeper look The size of his heart is what will be judged How it produces compassion and love Strong arms, gentle hands and a soft knee For holding a child at the age of three For each tear that is shed when he passes away Is a good deed he has done along the way Each tear that is wiped away from an eye Represents a sole he has touched when passes by The worth of a man can't be measured in wealth For a man can be rich in family, friends and health As he helps his fellow man when he is down Sets yet another gem in his heavenly crown Those that love him decides a man's worth The soles he has touched while upon the earth The degree of greatness, that can ever be had Is the title of Father, Papa or Dad! | Home | E-mail me | My Guestbook | Back | My TOC | Next | Guestbook courtesy of Bravenet.com.
