~ The Strength Of A Man ~
~ 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.
