Today, I'm sharing a deeply personal gift from my wife, Michele D. Davis: a powerful poem titled “The Epitome of a Real Man.” This piece goes beyond simple romance, beautifully defining true character by focusing on enduring values like integrity, keeping one's word, and unwavering loyalty to friends and family. Michele's words are a rare and heartfelt tribute to the kind of man who stands tall, proud, and alone in his commitment to honor.
