CHARACTER
I am dependable, like the tight, gold button that never loosens on a favorite, red-hooded jacket. I am constant, like the yellow, embroidered French knot on the back of blue jeans that never frays away, no matter how many times washed in Mom’s washing machine. I am reliable, like the metal and wooden tool, the hoe that hangs on the garage wall, ready for a hand to use the following spring in the garden. I am honest, like Dear, Sweet, Jesus taught me, and cannot lie, steal, or deceive.
