Men

A man who:

Takes pictures of himself

Everyday

Won’t have the time for you

A man who:

Leaves love notes on

Napkins

Underneath your coffee cup

Will love you when

You have nothing

A man who:

Declares he’s a great father

For all to see

Really

Truly

Isn’t

A man who:

Tells his children

Over the phone

Next to their bed

Kisses them good night

Where no one can see or hear

Truly is

A decent man

A man who:

Doesn’t make promises

But shows over

Time

His worth

His character

Is someone to know

A man who:

Makes mistakes

But tries his damndest

To make amends

May not see

Eye to eye

With all

But

Respects the process

Of understanding

Each other

A man who:

Writes poetry anonymously

Posts it for the world to

See

Is an enigma
