A working definition of Honor is,
"respect or esteem that has been earned."
Contemplate that for a moment.

self-respect and self-esteem.

for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain,
for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh,
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."
