Someone I care about found me a beautiful poem. I'm posting it here because there really is something in here for all of us.[/b] It is a ripper.
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 ins't in the deep tone of his voice
It is in the gentle words he whispers.
The strength of a man ins't in 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 how respected he is at home.
The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits
It is how tender he touches.
The strength of a man isn't in the hair on his chest
It is the 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.
