a perfect gentleman

A man who has disciplined himself to act appropriately, be friendly, and make sacrifices is most likely also willing to admit when he is wrong. This man is a gentleman, regardless of where he buys his clothes.

Please understand me. Pilgrim songs are not always songs of triumph. And pilgrim journeys are not always easy ones.

that’s our song

We don’t have a “song,” as common as that was in our day. No remembered glances across the room as the band played on. Music played no part in our courtship whatsoever. But we do have a story.
