What Makes a Man?

There are tons of definitions (which I'm sure are forthcoming, here) but simply put, a man does what he says he will do. His actions will match, and often surpass, his words.

A man knows the source of his power (God)
A man provides love, stability/structure for his family;
He takes a stand for that which he believes, and if he has to stand alone, so be it;
He will stand with his friend; yet can tell his friend he's wrong when he thinks so;

Yes, I am a man.

Rudyard Kipling's "If" speaks alot about manhood. It was a staple for me when I pledged, and has been a favorite poem of mine for many years.

MAN....get outta my head.

My sentiments exactly.
