Great spirits exemplify numerous virtues

They view the world in vibrant hues

She personifies the loftiest human values

He knows many elusive and profound truths.

 

Love is aspired to above all else,

Education is valued in-and-of-itself,

Knowledge is sought vigorously,

A transcendent state of fulfillment is known

Philosophy is held as greater than religion,

Wisdom lights the benighted world,

Life is lived as to welcome its repetition,

Honor is paramount in importance,

She feels an internal sense of confidence,

They show courage in the face of fear,

Others admire the raw joy he displays,

Free will transcends one’s throwness,

He cherishes long-held friendships,

She pursues goals with uncanny dedication,

He knows no greater force than truth,

Trustworthiness emanates from his core,

She tempers her justice with tolerance,

A liberality distinctly marks her ideology,

Nobility defies time within his conduct,

Respect is observed as his Golden Rule,

He approaches the world with passion,

She will leave a legacy of humor behind,

Liberty provides wind for his sails,

Restraint is practiced through great effort,

Modesty shows that strength can be soft,

His map is his unique vision,

All things are doable – in moderation,

Man’s creative artistry moves him,

She never sacrifices her internal worth,

Others are valued for their intelligence,

God will praise his magnanimity,

 

Great spirits exemplify numerous virtues

They view the world in vibrant hues

She personifies the loftiest human values

He knows many elusive and profound truths.
