First to fear;
Last to run.
Number one talker;
Champion listener.
Mature and wise-
An immaculate child.
Always tactful;
Ever truthful.
Strong and brave;
Weak enough to admit wrong.
Flexible and understanding;
Principled and firm in resolve.
Confident in who he is;
Meek and unassuming in manner.
Able to seek advice;
Capable of standing in his own counsel.
Rooted deeply in the Word;
Free from superstition.
Such qualities attract me to others
And draw from me mingled envy and admiration.
These I strive daily to cultivate,
In order to become
The man,
The friend,
The brother,
The son
And, one day, the father
I was put on this earth to be.
