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's 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 kids.

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

It's in how respected he is 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 how many women he's loved,

It's in how he can be true to one woman.

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

It's in the burdens he carries."
