TRUE WORTH IS IN BEING
TRUE WORTH IS IN BEING
Undying Poems: Dr. Romulo A. Ramirez
We get back our mete as we measure;
We can not do wrong and feel right;
Or can we give pain and gain pleasure;
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow;
The bush for the robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow;
And straight for the children of men.
We can not make bargains for blisses;
Nor catch them like fishes in nets;
And sometimes the thing our life misses;
Helps more that the thing it gets.
For good lies not in pursuin;
Nor gaining of great nor small;
Bur just in the doing and doing;
As we would be done by, is all.
