A real man won’t ask for help.
A real man won’t say he’s wrong.
A real man looks you in the eye.
A real man has a firm grip.
A real man holds his ground.
A real man feeds his wife and kids.
A real man knows how fix things.
A real man knows how to run things.
A real man won’t cry.
A real man makes up his mind.
A real man knows how to fight.
A real man knows that strength is all he’s got.
And yet, a real man is so much more than this.
A real man knows a two-man job when he sees one.
A real man owns the deeds he’s done.
A real man looks with the eyes of his heart.
A real man can shake hands and give hugs.
A real man does what his spouse and kids need.
A real man knows why things work the way they do.
A real man knows what he feels and says it.
A real man will change his mind if he’s wrong.
A real man knows when to pick up a gun,
and when to lay it down.
A real man loves God with all his heart, soul, mind and strength.
A real man knows that love is all he’s got.
A real man knows that Jesus is the one true Man for all men.
That’s a real man.
— E. D. Nelson
