What Inspires


What inspires me most? 

Well, those who don't boast,

Of thier good deeds or great fortune, 

But those who put their deeds in proportion,

Weighing thier words with caution around others, 

Hopeful that their deeds will not cause recognition among their brothers.

For those who treat life like the next great adventure, 

And not like something to show off treasures, 

And live like there's no tomorrow, 

Who join with another without fear of reproach, 

Who loves father and mother and freinds like their brothers, 

And treats the poor with a higher respect, 

That is what inspires me most, 

Without a single second thought or accost.
