Sincerity

by John Barber

Sincerity

Is a rarity

Praise is the present that's given

But a reciprocal gift is what's striven

A token for them

A gem to add to their diadem

Selfishness in need of more nourishment

An ego that feeds on encouragement

True praise is a jewel

A wonderful prize, not a tool

To be shared out of truth and honesty

And accepted with grace and modesty
