I've bent the rules somewhat, I'm sorry, only I couldn't imagine it without a personal conection. (Am I forgiven? )

A Man What Is He?

A man is one who loves tenderly
A man is one who sees you and me
A man is one who doesn't need proof
A man is one who sees the truth
A man is one who cries tears of joy
A man is one who doesn't need a ploy

A man can be strong
A man can be wrong
A man can be relied on

A man is one who feels pain
A man is one who doesn't seek gain
A man is one who has a heart
A man is one who won't play a part
A man is one who like to touch
A man is one who loves so much

A man can be true
A man like you

Well, I do believe I'm not a man...but I have to admit, this is a great poem for the fellow that has all of these attributes...

Kari, well he's out there somewhere Kari, I'm sure of it. But NO you're not having mine. (Ooops that was a little possesive wasn't it) Glad you liked it love, and my man, meets many of the criteria.  
              
Nathan, you really think so? Oy! Girls, over here quick, here's our sacrificial lamb! It's all right Nathan, we won't hurt you, haloweens passed you know.  
              
Jon, no love, you don't need to change, just admit that you'd be willing to do so.  
( in an aside to Kari, how about this one love, could be a possibility   )
                  
Kethry, Glad you liked it, and if he is out there well there's lots of us looking  
              
Take care
             Mushy Marsha

If I didn't know better I'd think you knew my husband. He is all that you write of.

All you write of is what we should be and if we have not been...could be.Thanks for the reminder, it may send the hint.

Charisma, glad you could see the image, I can, but then I have an ideal example.
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it
                
inot2B, one of the fortunate one then! Glad it reminded you of what a prize you have.
                  
Ron K, exactly, what is possible, that's all we ask. Sometimes just the hint is all we crave. Glad you liked it.  
Take care
