He watches himself
Keeps a tenderness
In his approach
Shows them they can lean on him
That he'll catch them
If they misstep
Watch a man with a child
See how he lets out patience
Like air from a balloon
In spurts or gusts
As much is needed
See how he can carry
Making someone else
A part of himself
A part of his arms
His strength
How it adjusts
To its responsibility
See how he buries his face
Against the softness of another's
And how his skin glows
When it goes toe to toe
With innocence
Watch a man with a child
See how he does
If you see his eyes light up
And his hands go gentle
And his voice go low
You know you're looking
At a man
