Strength of a Man By Richard Maxfield 4-13-2000 Strength of a man lays not with in his arms but in his love and kindness ability to do no harm his measure power is not in his command it lays with in compassion tenderness of his hand its not how well he fights busting peoples heads but in the care he shows when his wife he beds its not the weight he lifts with arms to impress its getting up early to help his child get dressed his power comes not from money he works so hard to earn the softness in his eyes healing all life’s burns crushing physical strength does not a strong man make its rather what he gives not what he can take copyright #RM99R4Birth sign: Gemini
