If This Is A Man

If this is a man
he would stand behind his word
and would speak before his sword

If this is a man
he would look you in the eyes
and wouldn’t fear to be as shy

If this is a man
he would act with true honor
and would role model candor

If this is a man
he would be a student forever
and would dare as a beginner

If this is a man
he would ask for help
and gift another’s heartfelt

If this is a man
he would make an extra mile by foot
to find and face the ugly truth

If this is a man
he would hug and kiss wholeheartedly
and remain loyal coolheadedly

If this is a man
he would stand last in line
and would put his heart before his mind

If this is a man
he would softly caress his lovers
and would humbly play with his daughters
