(Even beautiful)

Even beautiful
people look ugly when they
are seized with a sneeze.

(In my mind, you will)

In my mind, you will
always be 45, strong,
capable and kind.

sun on my back
fresh breeze on my face

Ladies’ Man

A man who champions women
is more "man"
than any macho man
or boardroom bully.

Such a man is
strong and confident
in his manhood,
not fearful and insecure
about his place in the world.

With gratitude to Robert McCurley for the perfect title
