Without Tyrannical Demands

Your innate desires aren't demanded
with a man-child tantrum.

With commendable actions,
you command your needs gently.

Your force isn't launched upon my face, 
but in place you open the door.

With eyes on the battlefield,
you yield your members to protect me.

Your height isn't guided by suppression;
I'm impressed with your helpful reach.

Your deep pitch isn't coupled with insults,
but lifted in benevolent leadership.

Willingly, I submit, in admiration
to an administration so wise.

My eyes esteem you with respect
for your strength reflects love.

My heart expands to meet your needs
without tyrannical demands.

Yes, yes! Man can let 'his best' triumph over 'his beast.' Thank you for acknowledging and portraying it. Kudos, Juliet.
