The Truest Measure



The truest measure
of Man's character ...

is reflected in the scale,

of what it takes to upset him.


With this in mind ...

are revealed as Minuscule.


Whereas ...


Many, who the World would dismiss

as Insignificant ...

become known as Monumental.

I thank you, Dear Bernie, for your encouragement and very kind 'Hugs.'

Lovingly ...
