LEGACY STRONG MORALITY

My Grandfather raised me to become a man
Standing on principles, and command respect
He often would state, “Life won’t be kind and nice, but stay tough
I won’t always be around, but listen up and take heed of my advice
Being a man takes full responsibility
A Lady wants a guy assured of himself 
True Leader and not a follower
Beyond intimacy
Having standards that revolve
Moral values
Achieving is establishing
Focusing opportunity
Accomplishing in excellence of being successful
Strong in convictions
Setting a course with full force
Transformation vibe
Mirror Mirror what do you see?
A Grandfather who taught you well
Every stature being tell
Taking nothing for granted
Before my grandfather passed away, his last statement was “You are going to remember this old man”
Remembering I do, and his legacy my pursue.
