IN THE COMPANY OF MEN

haiku

Picture

I Love the Company of Men: 

The steadfast strength of men
 Surprises and delights
The women they love 

 Male friends share laughter 
And help shoulder hardships 
 As if they were their own 

 Lovers are alchemists 
Transforming foot rubs 
Into romantic gold 

 Substantial men heft 
Weighty responsibilities
For family 

Truthful poets 
Remind us to husband our 
Journey into meaning 

 Navigators bend into 
Fierce storms, beyond 
The point of no return 

 Kind men inspire women 
To be gentle souls, for 
 We all deserve love
