Integrity

Be respectful of others--
And be kind,
Follow through,
And keep an open mind.

Don't be hateful to others--
Turn the other cheek,
Don't judge others--they're not perfect,
And you have no room to speak.

Keep your word at all times
And don't go back on it--
Some day your life and/or reputation
May depend upon it.

Don't break plans with a friend
For something you feel is better--
Keep in touch with people
By phone, e-mail, or a regular letter.

These are the traits
My Mother instilled in me--
Do what's right, even if you're alone--
It's called INTEGRITY.
