Are there really so few who know what real men do?Let us be men, courageous men unafraid to do our part.Let us be stalwart, faithful, and true, with morals, and values, and heart.Let us be men with standards, convictions, faith, and love.Let us be good men and great men, with assistance from above.Copyright (c) 2012 by Jerald SimonAll Rights Reserved
