A Man's Virtue


A man's courage is a product of a man's desire. A man's strength is synonymous with long lasting fire. To live and to love makes man want to inspire. Because to live and to love makes a man soar even higher. To work hard and to bear makes a man realize the effort Because struggle and plight make a man tougher than leather To hate and despise makes a man realize his crimes. Because the bitter sweet beauty of his anger will be his demise. A man should be light on his feet but heavier in the wind. A man should help defeat the enemy of his friend. A man should honor the feeling of love before lust, and A man should know that patience and righteousness are a must. A man should awaken himself as well as his brothers. A man should show everlasting love to his mother. A man should honor and care for those who love him, and A man should pay homage to the almighty being above him To walk and to run let a man test his pace, Because a man who stands still is not in the right place. To strive and to prosper lets a man know that he survived, Because negativity will not delay a man if he has already arrived. To conquer and behold lets a man know what he's accomplished, Because the aftermath of roughness let's man know that he's polished. A man's humbleness is a product of his experience. and a Man's healthy family shows that he IS experienced.
