The Real Man



The real man has the spirit of cheer,
He will not show  fear in his eyes;
Such a man will take a real stand,
When things go wrong,
He will face the fight,
With a willing hand,
A real man is the country's need,
The world waits for him,
It welcomes the forward look on his face,
And the poise of his noble head,
The real man comes with the sunlight on his face,
He has the strength to struggle,
And the courage to find his place,
The world delights in such a man,
The real man goes forth ,
To hold  his own in times,
Of  struggle and trouble.
