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 that encircle 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 buddy he is with his kids.

The strength of a man isn't in 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 how many women he's Loved by. It is 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.

Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman Is not in the clothes she wears, The figure she carries, Or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman Must be seen from her eyes, Because that is the doorway to her heart, The place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman Is not in a facial mole, But true beauty in a woman Is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, The passion that she shows, The beauty of a woman With passing years-only grows.

Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman,
but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man..
