A Good Man

A GOOD MAN Is loving Is a Good Son Is a Good Father Is a Good Brother Is a Good Friend Is leader Is a magnet Is a teacher Is confident Is not afraid to fail Doesn't mind being vulnerable Knows he's not perfect and ok with that Most of all a Good Man is clueless that he is, because know one told him or showed him how to be a good man Alexis Y 10-28-16 Inspired by "A Good Man"contest

A very honest and truthful poem, Alexis. Beautifully structured. I guess I am that rare exception, because I had my father to look up to as an example of what a good man should look like. Loved your poem though. Keep loving and living, sharing and giving. Many blessings to you, dear. And love only and always. RW

awesome. I found those married men in my managers at work. what I aspire to attract in a single man. the good ones are taken. but take their lessons in how they treat a woman. and don't settle for anything less. we are worth the price of finely cut diamonds.

I love the ending. A good man isn't looking for glory, he does it because it is right.
