GOOD MAN
     
                                                     Good
                                                  man, should
                                                  not be rude,
                                               but gentle, calm
                                          by heart, strong and firm
                                           not doing any harm
                                   to others, acts as friend in need,
                                 truthful, honest, dutiful in deed,
                                    loving loyal husband indeed.
                                Good man obeys moral values of life,
                             proceeds with moral courage in each strife.
                                    Cary affectionate by nature,
                               Love for each and all to nurture,
                                  Zeal for every good venture.
                                      Diligent accomplished 
                                        Mild, not cowardice
                                          though unselfish.
                                           Worth to trust.
                                            Pure heart,
                                              Must.
