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 encircle and protect 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 in the words

he speaks. It`s in how he keeps his word.
The strength of a man isn`t how many buddies
he has. It`s how good a buddy he is with his or "your" children.

The strength of a man isn`t in how respected

he is at work. It`s in how he is respected 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 in how many women

he`s loved. It`s in whether he can be true to

the ONE woman he`s trying to love.

The strength of a man isn`t in the weight he

can lift. It`s in the burdens he can carry.

The strength of a man isn`t in how much food

he eats from your table. It`s in the effort

he puts forth when you are unable.

The strength of a man isn`t in how he makes

love. It`s in the understanding that there

is more to making love......than making love.

A strong man puts God first; family second;

and his work third.
