You are the lion
I am the cub
I cower behind you
You stand tall
That feeling
Of protection
Makes a scared child
Feel safe
They say a man’s role
Is to protect women
And you perform that role
With utmost dignity
I even let you be my eyes
I even let you be my guide
I’m not worried to walk behind you
For this time, leading isn’t the end goal
The goal in union
The goal is peace
The goal is safely
To let you be at the forefront
To enable you to hold my hand
To encourage you to take the reins
Is love in its highest form
For in letting you protect me
I gave you the honor of saving me
A woman who can pay love forward
A woman who can make magic
So hold her
Protect her
Do whatever it takes
To let her walk
On this earth
Peacefully
