A Real Man

I wrote this in dedication to my husband who's been supportive and loving to me.

A Real Man . . .

 

A real man won’t make me beg to be loved,

He’ll remind me that I am deserving of one.

 

A real man won’t lay his hands to silence me,

Instead he’ll embrace my voice.

 

A real man won’t stop me from dreaming,

He’ll support my endeavors.

 

A real man won’t exclude me from his life,

He’ll ask for my suggestions.

 

A real man won’t rush me to satisfy himself,

He’ll be there holding my hand until I’m ready.

 

A real man doesn’t believe in violence,

But approves empowerment.

 

A real man isn’t afraid to father a child not his own,

Because in his eyes a child is worth loving.

 

A real man will love me unconditionally,

And see past the romantic bliss and accept my flaws.

 

A real man will appreciate a strong woman,

Who in turn will appreciate a real man.

That was amazing and full of hope.
For those stuggling to know what love is like,
this poem illustrates and portrays the love all of us are worthy to know
Greatly written

It's pretty good, kinda bland, lacked passion, although there was an emotion,
just seemed more to explain rather than exhalt as an ode would be,
and this is an ode to a real man, in the way you see him, I think the wording
could be better seeing as you wrote it in two line stanzas,
other than that, its worked nicely, but it isnt anything that stands out.
keep writing.
