A father, a brother, a lover, a husband, a son
Man to me is an epitome of strength,
A support through life’s hurdles
Man to me portrays protection,
Protection from wiles and life’s trickery
Man to me is humility,
Exemplifying God to me
Not lording over my feminism
Man to me is persistence,
Taking responsibility, ownership
Exuding tenacity
Man to me is success
Manly, muscular, striding with such gait that commands respect
Man to me is a mentor, a guide
Man to me is gentle and kind
Knowing when to throw me off balance
And realizing when to bring me back into an assuring embrace
Man to me is a father, a brother, a lover, a husband and a son
Bringing smiles to my face and chills to every ounce of my being
