Strength to Live

The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has—
It's how good a buddy he is to his kids.

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 how hard he hits—
It's how tender he touches.

The strength of a man isn't how many women have loved him—
It's whether he can be true to one.

The strength of a man isn't the weight he can lift—
It's the burdens he can understand and overcome.
