What is a man?

A man is someone who lends a hand,

someone who strives to help,

someone who cares to listen,

someone who loves to see you smile.

A man is someone who stands by you,

someone who you can trust,

someone who can catch you,

someone who will mend your wounds.

A man is someone who holds back pain,

someone who wipes away tears,

someone who does not complain,

someone who can fall and get back up.

A man is someone who lifts mountains,

someone who you can lean on,

someone who can hold you up,

someone who will warm your soul.

A man is someone who will not give up,

someone who works until the sun has set,

someone who faces all adversity,

someone who does what must be done.

A man is someone who looks you in the eye,

someone who shakes hands,

someone who opens doors,

someone who greets with a smile.

A man is someone who is seen as a hero,

someone who we all look up to,

someone who we are proud to know,

someone who we live to become.
