Had this while i was clearing my notice board. Found this poem during my college days and i thought it was very inspiring. After more than 5 year, I look at myself to see whether I'm a better man compare to then... I won't know what to say more. Anyhow, enjoy!
Good Men are indeed all around us.
We pass them on the streets, in the
malls, and the halls at work.
Most we can’t see because we don’t
know what a good man really looks like.
He usually isn’t flashy enough or
rich enough to turn our heads.
He might not wear a suit or push a
Lexus.
He might not have a body like Tyson
with a Denzel face.
But, as you mature, you realize
it’s better to find someone who’s got your back rather than someone who turns
your head.
A good man doesn’t agree
wholeheartedly with everything you say.
He doesn’t just tell you what you
want to hear and do the opposite.
He doesn’t declare how sensitive,
sweet, caring, sincere, etc. he is (he won’t have to because it shows).
He has his own opinions and yours
may clash, but he doesn’t have to degrade you to prove he’s right.
He even admits at times to being
wrong, especially if you are willing to do the same.
A good man is not going to meet
every item on your checklist.
He is human with frailties and
faults mixed in with all of his wonderful, strong attributes.
He needs your love and respect.
He needs to feel that you don’t
live to catch him doing something wrong so you can declare, “Aha! I knew you
were a dog!”
A good man isn’t insecure about his
woman having great achievements.
In fact, he is her number one
supporter and becomes disappointed with her when she begins to lose herself,
especially for the sake of not hurting his feelings, or only wanting to make
him happy.
His happiness comes with seeing her
excel in her dreams and accomplishing her goals.
For as she excels and is exalted, a
good woman will bring her good man right along with her.
A good man doesn’t necessarily give
you a huge birthday or Valentine’s gift.
He shows his love in the ways that
are comfortable to him.
Don’t judge him by TV standards.
No one is really living a fairy
tale.
You’ll miss out on your own fairy
tale by buying into the myth that our men are no good. It’s just not true.
A good man is a man of his word.
He says what he means and means
what he says.
His word is his bond.
He never leaves you wondering if he
is going to call or show up - he is dependable.
A good man has a love and a heart
for God.
As his relationship and love with
and for God grows so will his relationship and love with and for you grow...
