A Gentleman by Meridian Zuriel

Holds the door open for a lady
Doesn’t harass but has class
Helps the lady when she falls
Instead of watching and not moving
Gives more compliments than criticism
Respects a lady, is courteous to a lady
Is honest and not shady
Treats a lady right,
Not putting her in harm’s way
Has something sweet to say
Cools his anger, doesn’t insult
Controls his hands
Listens, helps and understands
Communicates and doesn’t hate
A lady
Especially if the lady is nice
Hadn’t done nothing to him
To make him hate her, dislike her
Even if he doesn’t know her
He doesn’t try to kill her
He doesn’t try to steal her
Joy
He secures and protects
He doesn’t neglect
His duty as a gentleman
He has love in his heart
For a lady
Not just one
But all ladies
And that lady
That comes across a true gentleman
Realize it quick and appreciate
That gentleman that doesn’t hesitate
To show those qualities of a gentleman
You’ll know who he is if you see him
Don’t stereotype all men to be the same
The actions of one man
Doesn’t represent every man
Just like one person of an ethnic group
Doesn’t represent the ethnic group as a whole
Don’t categorize and not consider
The possibility of that good soul
If you see a lot of bad apples on trees
Then that doesn’t mean all
The apple trees of the world are rotten
I believe gentlemen exist
And that they shouldn’t be forgotten
Just because you don’t see them
Doesn’t mean that they aren’t out there

Don’t despair
You really got those who care
So it’s only fair
To open the mind a little
Because some are not that far
A gentleman can be a friend
Doesn’t have to be anything more
And as long as he’s a gentleman
Then what more
Could a lady ask for

Hey Barb. Thank you. You've probably come across some in your lifetime. If you haven't, you will. Everytime I see a man hold the door open, help or that's just plain nice, I smile.

Being open-minded is good. Technology and personal encounters can make anyone be narrow-minded, unless they allow themselves to think outside the box and not cluster one group of individuals to be the same.
