- A brotha's response
You ask, do I qualify?
Can I fulfill your needs and become the man you need me to be?
My sistah, are you prepared for what you've asked for?
Can you handle the responsibility?
Can you accept that, by God, I am the chosen one, the authority, the comforter, and the head?
Will you submit and willingly follow my path?
Or will you fight with me instead?
If I am your king, will you treat me as such?
Will I get the best of your beauty and poise?
Or will I be subjected to an appearance, neglected, and checked with some serious noise?
When I talk, will you listen?
I mean wholeheartedly and feel me?
Or will you rush me just to make your point too?
Can I be the man at all times?
Even when it hurts?
Or is it just when it's convenient for you?
Can you love me for me, and not who you wish I could be?
Will you see the strong black man within?
Or will you always remind me of all the past brothas behind me and make me pay for their sins?
If I don't send you flowers the day your co-worker received some, will you know that I love you still?
Or will me good name be uttered along with those other doggish brothas?
Will you question if my commitment is real?
Will you be patient and reach me to understand you, and all my knowledge of your needs to grow?
Or will you shut me out when I ask, baby what's wrong?
Or will you respond with,"Well a real man would know!"?
When we first met, what was it that caught your eye?
Was it my mind, my heart, my personality?
Or was it my suit, my job, or do you love what I drive, instead of what's driving me?
Yes I can, and I will, make love to you from midnight to the dawning of the sun.
But, if I tell you I'm tired, will you trust I'm sincere or believe that there must be another one?
My sistah, I love you and my hear can be yours.
No woman could lead me astray.
But like you, I have needs, so I beg of you, please, in this love than meet me half way.
In life's tough times, I'll hold you, in the rough times I'll mold you; your simplest wish will be my command.
My life is yours if need be.
Yes you can fully believe me, and when hell comes, in your place, I'll stand.
A good relationship is a powerful institution that must be built on a foundation of two.
So to answer your question,
Yes sistah, I do qualify.
Now, more importantly... Do you?
