What Is a Man?

Man is not defined by age, or ever by muscle One is not a man if old enough to take wine He is not a man if his caring is only for himself So how can a man then be so defined? Well, a true man is a person of valor and virtue He will stand strong in the face of adversity He will do what is right, not following a crowd He is one who admits weakness and has integrity For a man truly is one that is a hero Though an underdog he may rather himself to be I hope, son, that you will be that type of man For then, you will be more of a man than me
