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
