Under Construction

Integrity, integrity,
What is holding you together?
Pretty letters on a wall,
Or joints that bear the weather?

In this house, the children sleep.
In this house, your words run deep.
What you leave from day to day
Does not leave when you walk away.

Build the drawer. Make it true.
Let it carry more than you.
Let it hold the trust we gave.
Let it hold the word you made.

Integrity, integrity,
Letters lying at my feet.
Put them back with what you do.
Let the word stand firm and true.
