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.
