The Strength of a Man
The strength of a man isn't
seen
in the width of his shoulders.
It's seen in the width of his
arms that circle you.
The strength of a man isn't in
the
deep tone of his voice.
It is in the gentle words he whispers.
The strength of a man isn't
how
many buddies he has.
It's how good a buddy he is
with
his or "your" children.
The strength of a man isn't in
how
respected he is at work.
It's in how he is respected at home.
The strength of a man isn't
in
how hard he hits.
It's in how tender he touches.
The strength of a man isn't
in
the hair on his chest.
It's in his heart...
that lies within his chest.
The strength of a man isn't in
how
many women he's loved.
It's in how true he can be to
the one woman he's trying to love.
The strength of a man isn't
in the
weight he can lift.
It's in the burdens he can carry
The strength of a man isn't in how
much food he eats from your table.
It's in the effort he puts forth
when you are unable.
The strength of a man isn't
in how he makes love.
It's in the understanding that there
is more to making love...
than making love.
