He is He

What does it take to be a man?
He is expected to be strong...even when weak.
He is to be the pillar of exemplary strength;
the Rock in a rushing a river,
the Warrior into battle,
the Protector,
the Provider,
the Leader,
the Hunter.
He is Pharaoh,
He is Samson,
He is Gandhi,
He is Martin Luther King, Jr.,
He is He.


He loves God as God loves him.
This love is manifested in his relationships.
He is Father,
He is Son,
He is Brother,
He is Friend,
He is Husband,
He is He.


He stands tall, even against adversity.
Falling, never slipping, but learning.
Learning to be a better man,
Learning to make for a better tomorrow,
Learning to be a light in the dark,
Learning humility,
Learning God's loving-kindness,
Learning to rise again and never stay down.
Learning there is a higher purpose in life than the present.
Learning that...
He is He.
He has to learn to be a Man.
