Evaluation Test

Who I am is not proven

By words, sweet and tender

But its truth is spoken

By what I surrender

Who I am is not stated

By wealth or by price

But its truth is meted

By what I sacrifice

Who I am is not shared

By prideful boast

But its truth is declared

By what I serve most

The clock does not tally

Achievements and such

It unfurls a Ballet

Of taste, treasure, touch

Who I am is not hidden

The hour will prove

As choice becomes action

Whom I most love
