A Strong Man
October 9th, 2009A lot of folks have a misconception of what a strong man is. They think he’s a champion brawler. How utterly childish.
No. I’ll tell you what a strong man is. A strong man, no matter how bad things gets, keeps his cool and his strength helps keep communities together. A strong man will survive the earthquake, the flood, and the zombie plague.
A strong man loves his spouse and doesn’t cheat on her.
A strong man is kind, honest, and fair.
Also, no matter how bad things get, a strong man does not compromise his integrity, nor his principles.
A strong man has no need to kiss ass to those above him, nor step on those below him. He has no need to impress anyone but himself.
A strong man is responsible. He is responsible for his words and for his actions. A strong man can take care of himself in just about any situation.
You will see the strong man at the funeral keeping everyone else from falling apart.
A strong man’s smile is real. So are his handshakes, and his hugs. So is his love.
A strong man keeps going, until the end.
