Advice To a Fine Young Man

Stand tall and hold your head erect I’m proud you are a fine young man Count yourself among the very elect, Stand tall and hold your head erect You will, so doing, command respect Remember, always do the best you can, Stand tall and hold your head erect I’m proud you are a fine young man. written October 22, 2021

Great advice, and your caring encouragement is felt through the lines. Just what a young man needs! Kudos, Gershon

Thanks, Gershon. I'm thinking I'll make a copy of this and send it to my only grandson, Cameron. He's a fireman, a fine upstanding young fellow.

So important for young men to do this and pull their pants up and wear a belt.

Yes, indeed. O God, how I hate their pants down around their thighs and their butt crack showing. I want to jerk a gnot in their tale!!!! Also, I appreciate when they wear a ball cap like it's supposed to be worn!
