Good Morning Listers, Through our research of our ancestors we find much, often good and sometimes not so good...and when our own descendants do research on us and our lives...what will they learn about us ? I read this and it spoke to my heart and I thought of sharing it with you. This is in dedication to excellent friends who are sincere: The Sincere Man What gifts of speech a man may own, What grace of manners may appear, Have little worth unless his heart Be honest, forthright and sincere. The sincere man is like a rock, As true as time; with honest eye He looks you squarely in the face Nor turns aside to make reply. Nothing is hidden; there is no sham, No camouflage to caution care, No ifs or buts to haunt the mind, Or secret doubts to linger there. A crystal candor marks his speech, With conscience clear he goes his way, He does the thing he thinks is right Nor cares a whit what others say. Give me a man that is sincere, And though a wealth of faults attend, I shall clasp his hand in mine And claim him as a trusted friend ! - Alfred Grant Walton
