"The Gentleman"

The way of gentlemen

The deep breath and confident eyes.

Non hurried ways,and warm goodbyes.

Respect for ladies,helping the poor.

A firm handshake you can not ignore.

Pride is absent,humble is the way.

Keeping your word you've given today.

All is well and calmness is your friend.

For this is the way of the gentleman.

peace

Wow, this is truly a great poem to read!
I enjoyed it.

[Donovan "Grey Wolf" Go..]

I really like it it shows the way all of us men and boys alike should act even though in recent times it has become almost out of date. We should all act this way, even though its very hard to do, I try.

poem expresses the full expression of calm observations which people are missing today ... interestingly written .. I like it.

This needs to be required reading for all people, particularly teens. It seems the day of your word, a handshake, etc. have fell by the wayside. I love how you so clearly layed it out short, sweet, to the point. Nicely done!!
