Analysis of Man's Strength: Love's Embrace
Naomi Johnson 1967 (New Jersey)
Enclosed by the warmth of his embrace, his strength resides,
His arms, a fortress where love abides.
With care and affection, he lights the way,
In his gentle touch, worries sway.
His mind, a beacon of wisdom and light,
Guiding with words, pure and bright.
Motivation flows from his gaze,
In his eyes, hope and courage blaze.
Responsibilities, he bears with grace,
No hint of hostility, only embrace.
Love he shares, with respect unfurled,
Supporting his children in this world.
A gentle touch, a tender caress,
Comforting in moments of distress.
Passionate heart, filled with fire,
In love's embrace, he never tires.
His genuine feelings, a treasure to behold,
In vulnerability, his strength unfolds.
With a humble soul, he loves and cares,
Even when his own heart wears.
For one woman, his love is true,
In her eyes, his reflection, anew.
Integrity and stability, his creed,
In his love, she finds all she needs.
Not in feats of strength, or worldly might,
But in burdens carried, day and night.
His strength, not in what he can shift,
But in the love, he can continuously lift.
