    I Am Not Afraid

    I am not afraid to speak, when a voice of reason must be heard,

    I am not afraid to listen, when understanding demands a timely word.

    I am not afraid to stand, when others refuse to rise.

    I am not afraid.

    I am not afraid to have a strong willed woman by my side,

    a woman of inner strength, renowned character and, a heart of charity.

    I am not afraid to follow her nurturing spirit,

    to allow myself to rest in the comforts of her strengths.

    I am not afraid.

    I am not afraid to make the final decision, to bear the burden of accountability, where the well-being of my family rests.

    I am not afraid.

    I am not afraid to say, "I love you, you mean so much to me",

    I open my entire heart to you, handle it carefully.

    I allow you into my most secret place, where no one has ever been.

    I trust you will treat it with loving care, and deposit your own love there.

    I am not afraid.

    I am not afraid of a successful woman, whose backbone is a moral compass.

    Pointing toward Peace, Love, Kindness, Patience and Goodwill toward man.

    I am not afraid to model manhood, in and out,

    to be a husband, father and friend,

    I am not afraid ............I am not afraid!

    Thank u Bluberripie, for your gracious comment. I speak from the heart.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
