Measure of a Man....A Tribute

Missing image
"A man's strength is measured by his heart"


It takes much to be a true man...
It’s not just simply the gender;
Some think it’s about the looks
But I know the truth…

It’s all about loving;
That spellbinding, radiation of pure, unconditional love...

You know a real man by the way he acts;
Every unselfish thing he does…
Knowing he will always be there to help
Inside, a real man is filled with love

A real man cries...
And he does;
His heart has known pain
He's also known love which has left molded impressions deep within

A real man opens himself up to life experiences
Opening your heart is never wrong
And he has taught that not only to myself, but to others as well...

Within his rippled embrace; his strong, caring embrace
Solitude can be found
If only you take the time to know his depth and breadth

Very few know the true measure of a man;
Very few know the true measure of THIS man...
Every day,I feel it and his love makes me strong

May God grant him peace and serenity as he journeys on the sacred travels of his life
May he know only love; feel love...always
Until the stars fall from the skies
Until Mercury crumbles
Until the end of his days...

In loving tribute and dedication to a man whom I admire and think the world of...he knows who he is

    As a man I believe I can relate to every single word you've written! You are poet because you inspire me to write more poetry. This poem is too good for paper it should only be spoken. Thank you

    It takes a woman to see a man.

    Most people confuse a male with a man. I am very grateful that you see the difference. My hat is off to you M'Lady.

    well

    As they say a good man is hard to find. But truly a treasure and a wonderful dedication. Now if only most ladies look at men in this light. I like it poet. But then again I am a man.

    Inspiring

    Heavenly Angel, Thank you for the reminder that this is the true measure of a man. I have such a one in my life, and I am so grateful. It is like drinking water in the desert to read your beautiful poem - a poem of love and what it takes to be an authentic man. May other men take in these messages and be to themselves and to those that love them the magnificence of their potential. Crystallady

    That is one of the most touching poems I have ever read. That is so true, just at my age most boys, I hesistate to say men, realize that. Men who care and aren't afraid of their feeling are a true treasure. The emotion in this is incredible, and I can truly say this is, I think, one of the best poems I have ever read. Keep writing dear poet, for you will go far.

    what a wonderful

    Reminder you have written for many of us women that sometimes allow a not so wonderful man take advantage of our own kindness, and that there are worthy men out there that will be and do all these things ..

    True qualities are often hidden and most people are blind, in the sense that they are unable to look past what is visible on the outside. It is perhaps the reason why so many misunderstandings take place in this world. I read in your bio page that you are careful to judge, which is a wise thing considering the above. This experience of life /wisdom allowed you to write a poem such as you posted on this page. I enjoyed being here to read and find there are still some who (try to) see what is beyond the obvious that often give a deceptive image of those we observe or the situations we try to figure out. Thank you for creating and sharing. Take care,

    This is so beautiful. I liked the part about a guy showing tears the best. I think it takes a really strong man to let out his emotions and be willing to cry at times. Most men would probably not do that. You have to admire the men in life who do. Good luck in the contest.

    It is a gift to know a man who is strong in his love, realizes that gentleness it the best expression of strength, that knowledge is nothing without the wisdom to know how to use it.

    You are gifted, we all our, by anyone, man or woman who knows that love is not a relationship, but instead a way of being and giving. In relationship, they honor us with their care, concern and commitment. Be blessed my friend for you are sharing in a gift.

    Love, Tom B.
