They've got that comfortable place on their shoulder
That's perfect for snuggling into while we fall asleep.
They're at peace with their bodies,
Except for maybe some minor anxiety over height,
Weight, and baldness.,
They fall in love so hard, once they finally fall
Bravery around snakes, water bugs, bats and flat tires.
Their unapologetic lust for a nice hunk
of beef or chocolate cake.
Their ability to solve problems,
Simply by throwing a ball around.,
The glimpse you get,
when they wear their baseball cap
Backward of their inner Little Leaguer.,
How tender they get when they cry,
And how seldom they do it.
What they lack in talk,
they tend to make up for in action.
They make excellent companions
when driving through rough neighborhoods
or walking past dark alleys.
They really love their moms.
They remind us of our dads.
They don't mind accompanying a woman
To a party even though she looks like a movie star
And they look like the chauffeur.
Their near-endless appetite for discussing the ins
and outs of work and money
ours as well as theirs.
Their genuine ardor for tinkering with toilets, Changing oil and assembling gas grills
Jobs any intelligent woman can do
But would be nuts to volunteer for.
They never care what their horoscope,
their mother-in-law, nor the neighbors say.
They rarely lie about their age,
Their weight, or their clothing size.
How awestruck they are in the face
of a homemade cookie.
How great their hands look holding ours.
Their face is a treasure to behold
when they give us a present they picked out.
Their ignorance is usually amusing.
They give great hugs,
(and always melt our hearts when a sweet
"I love you honey," is added)
Though they often try to hide it,
they're very tenderhearted and caring.
They have an uncanny ability
to look deeply into our eyes
and connect with our heart,
Even when we don't want them to.
They don't care whether colors match,
But are willing to be concerned
if we want them to be.
They give us a peek at the little boy inside
When they get sick or happy or hurt.
