I have no noble name, no objects of great worth, nor a penny to my name, I have not the looks of a prince, or equivalent charm, no land, nor investments, by all accounts of the world, I am nothing, yet by the standard of the Lord, I have wealth of wisdom, love, passion, trust, integrity…. or so I have been told, my loyalty is unwavering, my resolve immovable, where there is evil, my heart remains steadfast, and it shall break upon me as water does upon a rock. You wonder as to why, why you should trust me, have I led you astray, have I given such a false impression that I might have led you to believe that confidence and respect is not something I value, for I can greatly assure you, I do care greatly for it. Tho’ by the standards of the world I am but a broke, and lowly man, to the other aspects of the world I am surely rich, I have no proof, I have no support for these claims, does my argument falter? Nay, my heart is as much apart of these words as my mind is for creating them, I produce this testament in support of my character, My heart, my very being, pray that you trust me, for this is something I value.

Wealth of Character.
I have no noble name, no objects of great worth, nor a penny to my name, I have not the looks of a prince, or equivalent charm, no land, nor investments, by all accounts of the world, I am nothing, yet by the standard of the Lord, I have wealth of wisdom, love, passion, trust, integrity…. or so I have been told, my loyalty is unwavering, my resolve immovable, where there is evil, my heart remains steadfast, and it shall break upon me as water does upon a rock. You wonder as to why, why you should trust me, have I led you astray, have I given such a false impression that I might have led you to believe that confidence and respect is not something I value, for I can greatly assure you, I do care greatly for it. Tho’ by the standards of the world I am but a broke, and lowly man, to the other aspects of the world I am surely rich, I have no proof, I have no support for these claims, does my argument falter? Nay, my heart is as much apart of these words as my mind is for creating them, I produce this testament in support of my character, My heart, my very being, pray that you trust me, for this is something I value.
