The Strength Of A Man

The strength of a man is not 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 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 has loved.

It's 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 carry.
