A MAN IS
A man is a man within himself.
A man is not made from a mold.
A man is is an individual unique to others
around him. A man moves on,
But behind him leaves long lived
happiness.
A man may or may not be handsome,
But what is inside counts far more.
A man can help a neighbor, in the field,
through a tragedy.
It really doesn't matter,
As long as he is willing and able to
contribute to mankind.
