How Sweet Is He Poem by Melody McKinstrie

How sweet is he
That compliments me?
He gives me praise
He eases my mind,
Of the doubts
That have waylaid.
Making them go
Yes, go away.
Like a magician
Using a wand.
His words, '
His actions
Act similarly.

How sweet is he?
Like the most delicious drink.
A splendid confection
That quenches the thirst
And is lip smacking
Like my absolute favorite
Raspberry flavored Iced tea!

A woman may be known
For her sweetness
It is rare for a man
To be so described
And compared.

But him?
He is ever so rare!
He humbles me.
I am in awe!
For he has a way
Such a flair!

How sweet he is!
And he would not care
That others may think
Him not macho
May think him less of a man
For his compassion
For his ability
To understand.
And offer his kindness.

For is that not being
The strongest of men?
Breaking the mold
Of what others
Have been sold
What they have been told
Doing things on one's own?
Not beholden to norms
But doing what
Makes him and others
Feel ever so good?
