Reflections on True Knighthood, True Manhood
The strength of a true man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders
It's seen in his commitment to protect the innocent, born and unborn.
It's seen in the burdens he assists others to carry or cast off
The power of a man isn't heard in the deep tones of his voice.
It is in the humble words he whispers to the living God
in prayer, while on his knees for others and himself
The character of a man isn't always in the words he speaks.
Yet it's in how he keeps his word,
It's in how he lifts the hearts of the down trodden,
(in the silent words of his action)
The integrity of a man isn't in how respected he is by “society”
It's in how he is respected at home, before a honest mirror
Called wife (and his Children)
The love of a man isn't how many pals he has or how many women he's loved
It's in whether he can be faithful to the ones he claims to love
whether they be present or distant
