The Measure of a Man

Men come in different sizes, true. They're short, tall, thin, or fat. The true measure of a man though, Is so much more than that. It's courage and integrity When things are really tough. It's admitting that your very best Sometimes ain't good enough. It's warmth and understanding When someone's feeling blue. It's being there for people No matter what they do. So it doesn't really matter If you're short, tall, fat, or thin. The true measure of a man, Is the heart that lies within.
