The Strength of a Man

The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders.

It is seen in the width of his arms that encircle 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 is how good a buddy he is with his kids.

The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work.

It is in how respected he is at home.

 

The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits.

It is in how tender he touches.

The strength of a man isn't in the hair on his chest.

It is in his Heart that lies within his chest.

 

The strength of a man isn't how many women he's Loved.

It is in can he be true to one woman.

The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift.

It is in the burdens he can understand and overcome.
