AM I ENOUGH

I remember our first kiss,
Hoping beyond hope you would not reject this
     So imagine my surprise
     When I looked into your eyes
And saw what the angels must miss

You ask me how soon I knew
Although we met not very long ago, that’s true
     For me, it was love right at once
     Even if it took you months
To learn you were meant for me and I for you

You make me be the man I need to be
Bringing hope and light and honesty
     I’m going to be more than I am
     Am I tall enough to stand
in the shadow of your beauty

Darling, why now do you sit and cry
You must now come to me and dry your eyes
     Or maybe take my shoulder to lean upon
     My shoulders are big and strong
And I can see where our happy future lies             

So now you see I want to be a better man for you
You deserve more than I can give your whole life through
     I am hoping I am enough
     Shall I be tender or tough
     What did I do to deserve your love?

AM I ENOUGH

Inspiration
This is the first poem that I wrote from the male point of view.  Men struggle with different relationship issues, and this poem addresses some of them.  The beginning of the poem shows that when they meet the right woman, they know right away (whereas women often question relatonships).  Sometimes, the love of a woman can make a man question his values, in other words, "Am I Enough."  

They also sometimes don't understand why women cry: "Darling, why now do you sit and cry."  If they see a woman crying, they want to hold her and save her from her own feelings: "...take my shoulder to lean upon / My shoulders are big and strong."
