                                  THE
                                  STRENGTH OF A MAN
 The strength of a man isn't seen in the width
                                  of his shoulders
 
                                  It's 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 just in how many
                                  buddies he has
 
                                   It's most
                                  admirably how good a buddy he is with his
                                  kids.
 The strength of a man isn't just in how
                                  respected he is at work --
 
                                  It's most
                                  importantly 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 the
                                  heart...that lies within his chest.
 The strength of a man isn't how many women
                                  he's loved --
 
                                  It's in his
                                  loyalty to one woman.
 The strength of a man isn't in the weight he
                                  can lift --
 
                                  It is in the
                                  burdens he can carry.
