There Stands A Woman

Behind every great man there stands a woman I have heard that time after time before Standing behind him and keeping him strong There is a woman who is opening life's door. Though I myself am not a great man And a great man I might not ever be But in my soul and mind I feel like a great man As you are there always standing behind me. When I fall you are there to catch me Or you will pick me up when I hit the ground You make me happier than I can ever speak And because of you, you make me heaven bound. You are behind me to fix my hair or straiten my tie When I leave the house each and everyday You give me the confidence to keep me believing As without you, inside our home I would stay. When I make a mistake you tell me not to worry And when I cry you are there to wipe away my tears You are there to listen to my worries and my problems And you are there to help me fight my own fears. You give me the support when others would reject me And the hope I need when I am not sure of myself You are there with the uplifting words to move me along You are my riches, and you are my wealth. Behind every great man there stands a woman I don't know if that statement happens to be true, But whenever that I look into my mirror, Behind me; there is always standing you. Randy L. McClave
