This is a requiem for a man who lived passionately. He worked hard. He loved with every fiber of his being
and he wasn’t afraid to let it be known.
He made mistakes, but he admitted to them because he knows that “I’m
sorry, I was wrong.” are powerful words.
He would always give up his jacket when his lady was cold,
no matter how cold he may have been.
If there were only room under the umbrella for one then he would stand
in the rain.
He was a warrior of the heart. He knew how to stand up for what was right, for what he
loved and for his beliefs.
He would go on walks with his lady, holding her hand and
walking street side.
He’d hold doors for her.
He’d wait until her food was in front of her before he dared
take a bite of his.
Not a day would pass that he didn’t tell her he loved her or
how beautiful she is.
This is a requiem for a man that believed in: ladies first,
please, thank you, you’re welcome and giving is better than receiving.
He was honest; he earned his keep and didn’t take what
wasn’t his.
He gave to the less fortunate and when he had nothing to
give, he gave his time, he gave a hand, and he gave an ear.
His service came without strings, he didn’t believe in ‘you
owe me one’, because doing what is right is enough of a reward.
This is a requiem for a man that realized that you couldn’t
be a lover without being a fighter; love is something that is fought for
everyday.
He lived a good life.
He had no regrets.
He loved with every fiber of his being and he was loved in
return.
You can’t ask for anything better.
This is a requiem for the Gentlemen.
aww, I like that
