The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night

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 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 or "your"
children.

The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is
in school.
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 how true he can be 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.
