Strength of a Man

The strength of man is not seen in the width of his shoulders,
it is seen in the width of his arms that encircle you.

The strength of man is not in the deep tone of his voice,
it is in the gentle words he whispers.

The strength of a man is not how many buddies he has,
it is in how good a buddy he is with his kids.

The strength of a man is not in how respected he is at work,
it is in how respected he is at home.

The strength of a man is not in how hard he hits,
it is in how tender,he touches.

The strength of a man is not in how many women he's loved by,
it is in can he be true to one woman.

The strength of a man is not 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 wear,
the figure she carries,
on the way she combs her hair.

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

The beauty of a woman is not in her 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.
