Where have all the good men gone?
Men who are gentle and courteous
Lads who are brave, gallant, and bold
Man’s man through it all

Where have all the good men gone?
Men who are ordinary in demeanor blessed with character untold
Men who can but chose not to shrink from duty, obligation or chore
Man’s man ready and willing to answer the call

Where have all the good men gone?
Men who are leaders, noble souls with a resolute goal
Men who are honest, willing to fight for God’s and a fellowman’s honor
Man’s man of present day forlorn

Where have all the good men gone?
Men ingrained with upright might
Men who can never be bought with prestige, comfort nor gold
Man’s man of four corner’s fold

Where have all the good men gone?
Do we still breed such rarity in need?
Where are the nurseries that mold such dignified lords?
Who shall remedy this penalty we hold?
inspired by men who are chivalrous :w00t: (tried to be anyway - even if at times the gesture "seemingly" was not noticed or appreciated -- rest assured God noticed and that's what counts! :nod:) in their own quiet and simple... unassuming way then, coupled by my frustration and disappointment that chivalry is a set of virtues and principles becoming extremely scarce and rare :-(

I do not allow my conduct to be guided by any lord. Nor would I, for it is my responsobility to keep chivalry alive within myself. Respect and duty are what matter, loyalty and the willingness to protect and lead. These are hte qualities I value. That is why I would happily sacrafice myself in the defense of Chivalry, for a woman or somone who I have sworn to serve or protect.
