Perfection of Character

entry picture

 

Your moral character is unsmirched, unmaligned.

You've lived life with good purpose, well-defined,

Sure-footed, with a firm grasp on each day,

An inner truth illuminates your way.

With fortitude and intent. Let your image grow.

No waste, no haste, no laziness on show.

Embrace acquaintances as new friends you’ve made

Spirited dialogue urges pretension to fade.

Engage life's beauty, it’s such a vivid scene,

Live your life today. All your tomorrows are unseen.

Marcus Aurelius stoism
