The quietest, most unassuming ones are often behind the scenes actually doing what needs to be done, sometimes invisible but so necessary!

Yes, the quiet ones step forward at such times. My quiet introverted cousin was apt in giving a speech when the family raised money to pay foe his sister’s cancer bills. It was wild seeing him take charge. Another brother is much more charismatic but he is the oldest.

Exactly, Kim. Appreciate your insightful comment about the quite ones. They often have the real backbone in the family. Best wishes, gw

I, too, admire this man for my perception is that he's deep and confident enough as a man to be a feeling person whose depths include a love that is protective of those he finds precious. I admire your character as I view him based on your Acrostic. This is a man who wouldn't be afraid to wear pink or verbally end a potential fight based in frivolous ego rather than engage. This is a good man. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

A man who stands up for those closest to him, described in this great acrostic :)
