A Good Reputation
Good reputation and respect,
Is so difficult to reject;
And worth more than silver or gold,
Or the money in your billfold.
For both all the rich and the poor,
God created to do a chore;
In knowing of their learning curve,
And that they are able to serve.
But when temptation starts to come,
Then we are starting to play dumb;
While being enticed with greed,
Forgetting God as to succeed.
If you are treating others fair,
You will be given a good share;
For if you ever try to cheat,
God assures a crushing defeat.
Pay your respects and serve the Lord,
Who is never to be ignored;
He will reward you with much wealth,
And ensure you be in good health.
