Real men can accept humility
and forget hostility,
remove vanity
and move confidently
Never have to show their strength
and prowess, or invite a dare,
but instead give themselves to
kindness to show how they care
Not be outwardly brazen or act proud,
but speak softly, never angry or loud
These are the true men to be looked at
on even ground, the ones that act
only equal, and happy to be around
For the partners in life
no matter what the gender,
the ones of beauty and grace
and never a pretender
With smiles that beam and shine,
through darkest of times,
with a gentle touch that lies ever so softly,
upon your mind
No pretense to act,
as someone other than they may be,
satisfied with whom they are,
no matter what you may see
They are most happy for themselves,
when you’re feeling most happy too,
walking together, in your time,
even when that time is through
They would wish for you,
warm and kind thoughts,
and always put you first
For their needs are God sent,
for you to find love,
and never for you to thirst
So may you find that one
that makes you full,
and happiness abounds
Even though not always together,
you know they’ll always be around.
