Ode to Peace through Masculinity

More about Ode to Peace through Masculinity

In strength that doesn’t need to shout,
In calm resolve when doubts ring out,
He holds a steady, guiding hand,
A shield for all who seek to stand.
His power lies not just in might,
But in the way he lifts the light.

For true strength needs no guise or boast,
And cares for all, from least to most.
He knows that trust, not fear or scorn,
Is where the truest bond is born.
In action firm, yet hearts laid bare,
He builds a world that all can share.

His shoulders bear the weight with grace,
But never claims a higher place.
For he believes, with courage clear,
That all are welcome here, held dear.
To those who journey brave and free,
He opens arms, he holds the key.

Not bound to roles or brittle norms,
He breaks the mold, transforms, reforms—
And sets a path for those who find
Their voice and strength not yet defined.
For when each soul finds welcome ground,
The world grows safer, all around.

With wisdom won through trials past,
He teaches peace that’s built to last,
Knowing that strength is not a wall,
But how one lifts and cares for all.
In every action, there’s a way
To make another feel they may.

So here’s to those who guide and hold,
Who teach by truth, by strength controlled.
The ones who build, defend, and trust,
With love as firm as tempered steel rusts.
They carve a world that all can see,
A realm of peace, where all are free.

To wholesome strength, to men who lead,
To those who care without the need
To claim a throne or stake a name—
Their strength is found in acts that tame.
For they who rise with hands held high
Keep safe the dreams that never die.

In them, the future sees the way
Where all are welcome, none to stray.
For when each voice is heard and known,
The seeds of peace are truly sown.
