You

It takes a wise man 
a strong man
To stand like you
It takes a man with great stature 

To even say I love you
Voice trembling 
words stumble as you talk
It takes a real man like you to walk  walk this walk

It takes a carrying man 
a sharing man
To give me what I need
Heart of compassion 

knows how to lead
With nothing up his sleeve
It takes a humble man fly man
To wear your clothes

It takes a man who is truthful 
knows how to compose
Just like you a man who takes up a line
Nervous tendencies I have to pen this rhyme
