WHAT MAKES A MAN, GENTLEMAN?
Melvin Banggollay
Not all men are gentlemen
Unless they have this code
G-ood manners and right conduct
E-mphatize with other's sad plight
N-ice and gentle when they act
T-ruly accepts defeats in any fight
L-oving and caring while being tact
E-llevate God in sharing their light
M-eek and sincere to accept their luck
A-ct with prudence with all might
N-ever surrender to change bad lack.
