Where a Man Can Cry

Her soft bosom
Her tender lap
Where a man unwinds ~
 Unburdens his heart
 To a sympathetic mind

Port in the storm
Oasis -- to restore, refresh
 Without strings attached
 Constricted or enmeshed

The softness of a woman is 'hard' to duplicate. :) gw

A warm and welcome place to go when life gets you down. I think that's something we all seek now and then. Someone who knows you for who and what you are and accepts you that way. No judgements, just clear and practical advice with a soothing acceptance and the knowledge that no matter what happens there is always a home to go to where no one can bother you. Well done. God Bless, JB

Soft, tender, support. Somehow a man just isn't built to give this kind of support. :) gw
