It means not putting her down when she hurts you
It means listening to her words rather than hearing her voice
It means telling her she's hot when she thinks she's not
It means holding her when she cries, and letting her hold you when you cry
It means accepting you're not perfect but still doing your best
It means doing the right thing when it's not easy
It means having endurance on the days you want to quit
It means learning to be a good husband and father
It means hugging her when she's doing the dishes, telling her to rest on the couch, and doing them yourself
It means putting your family first no matter what
It means loving her through your actions not your words

That's the man I want to be.
Written 28 January 2016... was my 100th poem. Seems so long ago. I think I fell short of the man I want to be.
