The Man Is the Head

The man is the head of his wife The same way the literal head Is to the physical human body. This means that the man or husband Is supposed to love his wife, To protect and nourish the same. If the body didn't have a head We would have to go look for it For the body indeed needs one. Otherwise where would the thinking And the coordination come from? Of course, the head too needs a body! The head cannot walk or point. It can't deliver food to the mouth. It cannot write or play a guitar. It also needs the organs in it: The mouth, the nose, the ears, the eyes, Without which it is but nothing. The head coordinates its own body And not the bodies of other heads As a man is head of his wife. Similarly he's a caring one, Always seeking to please his wife. How secure his wife thus feels! It is the bible that laid down this law At first Corinthians eleven, verse three; But it says that the first head is God. It also says that God is love And what a provider that one is! That is how the man is head!
