What kind of man?



What kind of man am I,
When I am all alone,
Gone away on business,
Many miles from home?

And when there is an evening free,
And no demands at all,
Am I one who will behave,
And go home standing tall?

Lord, I can give a show of faith,
And righteousness at home,
But the kind of man I really am,
Is when I'm all alone.

Oh that I may have, the strength and power
To be kind and good at home,
A genuinely Christian man,
In public, and alone.

I believe that only God and ourselves know exactly what we are and what we think. Being true to ourselves is the effort of a lifetime My desire is to be able to stand before my Maker and not be ashamed. I am so thankful for the atoning sacrifice of our Savior, that wrongs can be forgiven. None of us could make it without Him.

Thank you Kent, for the thought provoking poems. Larry, also has posted some great poetry.

I want to look at myself and not be ashamed. Know that I love my children unconditionally, and want to be loved by them and both of my parents the same as I to them! THAT is not always easy, on Earth.

Choosing to be right is a choice that is known in the heart and always feels right! Too bad so many don't follow their heart.
