Sacred

Be that man

Who looks his woman in the eye when he gets home

And says ‘You look beautiful, darling.’

And means it.

Because this thing you have going is

Sacred

Be that man

Who offers his woman a back rub, a glass of wine

Or coffee

Or simply some time and space

Where she can be herself.

Because this thing you have going is

Sacred

Be that man

Who doesn’t make jokes about his woman, behind her back

Because she is too precious, too dear

Some things you do not joke about

Because this thing you have going is

Sacred.

Be that man

Who would drop everything in a jiffy to be beside her

Not because she cannot manage

But because you know how much she hates to do it all by herself

Tell her she is strong and brave,

And hold her hand

Because this thing you have going is

Sacred
