Moral Character!

By L. Don Oliver

Education, Experience, and Perseverance,

Are the paths to one's goal;

Tolerance, Compassion, and Charity,

Are the avenues to one's soul;

The Responsibility is unto ourselves,

To believe in that which we can achieve;

With Innovation, Determination and Discipline,

We can achieve that in which we believe;

To be Exceptional at what we attempt,

Inspiration, Invention, Industry are the keys;

To have Harmony within our lives;

Humility, Self Actuation, Example are the fees;

Awareness of how others feel,

Insults we must never coddle,

Treating others with Respect.

"The Golden Rule" is the model;

Doing everything within our power,

To provide for the common good;

Organization, Cooperation, and Commitment,                         

Are the prerequisites to be understood;

To succeed in the game of life,

All must play by the rules;

By preparing an even playing field,

Equality, Courage, Action are the tools;

Have Forgiveness for the wrong others do,

Be Considerate and show that we care;

Be Grateful for what we have,

And always Be Willing to share;

Trusting in the Honesty of one's self,

To Accomplish that in which we apply;

Believing in Family, Friends, and Country,

Will make better citizens of you and I;
