The Measure of a Man

The true measure of a man
Will never be land, money or fame
But rather the number of friends
That come and call him by name.

I have been truly blessed
By the Lord up above
By the many friends I have
And their many gifts of love.

And it is true the greatest words
Ever heard by any lad
Is when someone says to him
"Hi, I am a friend of your Dad"

Robert J. Frost
