Proud

I remember way back when 
Children played and men were men 
When a mom stayed home it wasn't sin  

We worked through things that were difficult
If you failed at something it was your own damn fault
We didn't back down, we were full of salt
 
A tough man knew to endure offense 
And rise above without getting tense 
People then had more sense 

It was no ones business how you voted
Kept your word and stayed devoted
Didn't need criticism candy coated

No one hid behind computer screens
We spoke direct without fake ID's
Unashamed, no image preened 

I'm proud to be a man from then 
When I mess things up I make amends 
When it comes to love, I don't pretend
