A man’s heart…

is driven

like waves of the sea,

enduring,

always against all odds.

~~~~~~~~~

A man’s heart…

is hardy

like a leaf in the wind

weathering,

every unforeseen storm.

~~~~~~~~~

A man’s heart…

is strong

like a tree under stress,

weighing

all anticipated pros and cons.

~~~~~~~~~

A man’s heart…

is fragile

like a broken mirror,

easily

emotively dispirited by love.

~~~~~~~~~

A man’s heart…

is giving

like a river flowing,

nurturing

souls along life's course.

~~~~~~~~~

A man’s heart…

is tender

like a newborn's sigh,

embracing

love's delicate dance.

~~~~~~~~~

A man’s heart…

is fearless

like a lion's roar,

defying

adversity with courage.

~~~~~~~~~

A man’s heart…

is simple

like a child's smile,

finding joy

in life's simplest treasures.

~~~~~~~~~

A man’s heart…

is a gift

like a special shield

prepared

to protect, guide, and love.
