Like a Man

I live by such simple logic actions 
this only seems to you science fiction 
left brain grows my people interactions 
my male strength burns from a deep conviction 
the fight for what is right my ambition 
in my armour I take my lady’s plight 
I will always be your saving brave knight 

please do not judge me for being so hard
I feel I need to guard my love’s equal 
our love's safety held in highest regard 
as a man I live to fight all evil 
I wear scars from a fight medieval 
recording my loves struggle for my bride 
my love and fight for you  won’t be denied 

when you neglect me I am also hurt
what I need is your heart as good as gold 
be faithful to me never be a flirt 
when we walk home at night in icy cold 
my arm is the one that you choose to hold
I will hold your hand till the breaking dawn 
when all your fears are now real and born 

I hold your honour in highest esteem 
this births my stress over our love future
I sacrifice for you as a life’s theme 
all this while keeping my sense of humour 
when our daughter’s heart has gone all lunar 
her father will teach her to be love smart 
this wisdom is what I hope to impart 

when times in life bring on the very tough 
this is when my vows and love commitment 
ensure I fight for us to have enough 
no regrets, this is a life fulfillment 
my love for you will always be consistent 
I chose to be your faithful loving man 
I love you, like a man, that’s what I am
