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 can carry.
