What is Integrity?

Integrity

Integrity

‘Honor’ ‘Truthfulness’ ‘Reliability’
- three defining words of “integrity”
leave no doubt about what we expect
from an individual with such a quality

Sadly we see its tarnishing begin in
careless gossip and convenient lying
with no regard to personal reputation
the absolute in friendship and family

Keeping one’s word is still a must
the holding of secrets a sacred trust
leaving us to wonder how to regain
love and closeness rewarding integrity
