Sunday 20 December 2009: 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 encircling 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 father he is for his kids.
The strength of a man isn't 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 in the hair on his chest.
It is in his heart that lies within his chest.
The strength of a man isn't in how many woman he has loved.
It lies 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.
"

Tonight my heart aches for a man who understands nothing of this - and I despair at the outcome of the situation.
