How I measure YOU!

cropped-1502566_10152956516653086_4850688756791525445_n.jpgIf you are an author, I measure you on how many books you sold, If you are an architect, I measure you on how many families sleep in your creation, If you are a case worker, I measure you on how many families your knowledge has touched, If you are father, I measure you by your son, If you are a mother, I measure you by your mess, If you are a Christian, I measure you by the amount of forgiveness in your heart, if you are a soldier, I measure you by MY freedom that you protect with your life, If you are self-employed, I measure you by your income (not your dream), If you are married, I measure you by your loyalty, If you are a warmonger, i measure you by diplomacy, If you are a real man, I measure you by the smile on your woman’s face, If you are a cheat, I measure you by your eventual demise.

If you are you, I measure you by your actions AND your words
