Opening Words
A Real Man by Samantha Mistry
Honest, straightforward, a spade was a spade,Integrity, honour; of these he was made.
He believedThat disadvantaged but honest, makes you more of a man
Than one who succeeds from things underhand.He had the words to command and the strength to protect,
But he’d never abuse these, he behaved with respect.His home was his castle and his family his world ,
Whatever he did was with them he preferred.His eyes only noticed his wife, his best friend,
And to his son, was a man on whom he could depend.A gentleman, a real man, someone to admire,Just being himself would impress and inspire.
Live life well, learn from him, cherish each memorybecause to be half the man he was,
is to be twice the man you thought you’d be.
Closing Music‘Brown Eyed Handsome Man’
