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 how many women he's Loved by.
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.
