Father's day

My Sweetheart!

The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders;

it's in the width of his arms that encircle you.

*****

The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice;

It's in the gentle words he whispers.

*****

The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has;

It's how good a buddy he is with his children.

*****

The strength of a man isn't how respected he is at work;

It's how respected he is at home.

*****

The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits; 

It's in how tender he touches.

*****

The strength of a man isn't in the hair on his chest;

It's in his heart that lies in his chest.

*****

The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift;

it's in the burdens he can carry.
