Hard as Steel Yet
Soft as a Feather
I never - ever backed down from a fight
When I thought the cause was just
I spit out teeth and blood and guts
But I smiled as I passed the macho man test
Wept like a baby the night my daughter was born
Frightened and weary to hold her at first
Scared out of my wits when she took her first step
And to leave her was worst
I could drink a quart of rum
Chased by a flat of beer
Race a car down doing ninety
And not show any fear
But when Momma took sick
I sat at her bedside night after night
Just praying to God
He’d let her be mine one more night
A man can be as hard as steel
When a man he needs to be
But…women, love or babies
Turn him soft as a feather easily.

It's always a good thing when one becomes relaxed with their compassionate self.
I'm afraid I never measured one up by the amount of alcohol they could ingest..
Only by the amount and depth of their heart..
Loved this write Felix.

your beautiful daughter and I'm sure she will agree. A parent never forgets the birth of their children. Excellent write, my friend.
