DIGNITY is the ability
to stand strong and tall
in the face of adversity
while being able
to bow to the elderly
and crawl with the children
DIGNITY is taking a stand
for your beliefs
without closing your mind
to another's opinion
DIGNITY is being an example
by your deeds
and through your words
avoiding gossip, anger and lies
DIGNITY will manifest itself in
the warmth of your smile
the depth of your love
and kindness for your fellowman.
