when you are in control of yourself and do not wish to control others.
You are honorable...
when you find your honor is to honor others.

when you can take as sweetly as you give.

when you do not know how humble you are.
You are thoughtful...
when you see me just as I am and treat me just as you are.
You are beautiful...
when you don't need a mirror to tell you.
