Not how did he die,
but how did he live.
Not what did he gain,
but what did he give.

These are the units
to measure the worth
of a man,
regardless of birth.

Was he ever ready,
with a sword of good cheer
to bring back a smile
to banish a tear?

Not what was his station,
but had he a heart
and how did he play
his God-given part.
