Honour
Obey your honour and try to understand
That justice and truth must go hand in hand.
So try to be honest and try to be good
Never stray from doing just as you should.
So go into the world; perform great noble deeds.
Be courteous but don't be full of greed.
And whatever you say, be you old or youthful,
Endeavour to make all of those words truthful.
Then maybe you'd have a right to be proud,
A view that could perhaps be avowed.
And you might have a right to be covered in glory,
And people would tell your wonderful story.

Stuart,
It is said that in every poet there lives a philosopher. This poem bears witness to that.
Good words to be cherished
Thank you for this
Keith
