Integrity

It's a treasure so rare,

a quality that is few,

a temperament that some share,

a heart that is true. 

Not something money can buy,

or a thing that can be faked,

it has to be earned with care,

not leaving it halfway. 

It's the strength of the will,

the foundation of your character,

that gives you the direction,

to take pride in yourself. 

And you will gain the respect,

from every section of society,

trusted with their requirements, 

being grateful of your assistance. 

But it's not a one time thing,

requires commitment of a lifetime,

like a mountain facing the nature,

be it calm or extreme weather. 

To be just and sincere,

be it our thoughts or action,

standing for what you believe in,

even if it's an unpopular opinion. 

And you will be rewarded, 

with happiness and contentment,

for, you have lived an honest life,

living behind a legacy...to be remembered.
