The man - poem by Rosie Caristea, Philippines

The measure of a man is not about his wealth
nor the fame and glory of his earthly success.
The measure of a man is in his character
how he tackles issues without prejudice.
How he acts upon the most crucial of time
when he has to deal with the matter at hand
every word he utters, how he speaks his mind;
like refining of gold as it went through the fire.
It is the flame within during the freezing cold,
vulnerability's grip and stories untold,
sailing through the storm keeping his head afloat;
sustaining the ember of diminishing hope.
The measure of a man is the hurdle he jumped,
the decisions he made; the wisdom he acquired.
The measure of a man is his stand for truth
when principle is huge over the weight of gold.
