Integrity is not a virtue we posses
is a virtue to be pursued
and protected
in the boundaries of humility
and acknowledge a deep, raw, deep understanding
that we are dust
If one wants to lose it
and lose it again
just think that you have it
do not lean in your own understanding
one minute is enough
to blur an eternity of clarity
one fall is sufficient
to make you dwell in the shame
elusive, conducive
Oh, great treasure you are!
And so easy we trade you,
for less than a plate of lentils
when we think the hunger of the moment
will calm the deeper longing
that is usually hidden
behind desire,
The true fulfilling intimacy
with the one
who based in his righteousness
opens this way to walk
in integrity
to follow his steps
Integrity is not to be idolized, but to be admired
because it points
to the glorious beauty of the Holy and Faithful one
Oh! May I pursue you
Oh may I treasure to be like Him
and bring joy to his heart
that even as a kid learns to walk and tumble
I may do the same in his path
May integrity be guardrails
that keep me in the way that leads to Him,
with Him
Near and close
So close that I can hear his heart beat
and know Him
and love Him
and be loved
Based on who He is and what he has done.
