sincerity

you are all of what
it takes to build
the gentle soul
of a kind heart

and where many 
will claim to hold
the title of many skills
it is this that shines

it makes you capable,
the attempt to understand
the listening in a moment of pain
the offering of space to mend

many will come
and collect awards for life's many esteems
but you will always be blessed
with a sincerity that rises
soundly above the rest

There is something to say for sincerity. I have come to value it in others and myself. Not perfection. Sincerity.
