So what is it that motivates us
to be better, gentler,
more refined?
I like to think it’s those close to us.
Close to the heart and soul.
Those who carried you to the car after you puked on their shoes.
Those who took the blame for breaking the window when it was you who cast the stone.
Those who will be by your side when reality knocks on the door,
both good and bad.
But more importantly,
those whose stories you’ll share with your kids
and grandkids
and their kids
and their grandkids,
in hopes to somehow
keep this all alive.

Chivalry
Decency
Kindness

Compassion
Desire
Strength

How will you be remembered?
