Doing What He Must

A man has a heart that loves, rejoices, bleeds and breaks just like that of a woman, though he must withhold the visible signs. His role calls for firmness and readiness for life’s battles, which dims his softness.

He goes out into a world of conflict to strive for those he loves. Taking life’s beatings without tears or complaints and steadily carrying on; fighting and toiling, he takes reproaches and praises with the same smiling face and unchecked determination. He has a heart of gold, though we often fail to see it.

To the under-appreciated men among us, here’s a hug … thank you for doing what you do!
