A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape…
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape…A strong woman isn’t afraid of anything…
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear…A strong woman won’t let anyone get the best of her…
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone…A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
but a woman of strength realizes life’s mistakes canalso be God’s blessings and capitalizes on them…A strong woman walks sure footedly…
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls…A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face…
but a woman of strength wears grace…A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape…
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear…
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone…
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls…
but a woman of strength wears grace…
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong
A strong man thinks he has to always be strong,
a man of strength knows that he doesn't have to prove himself.
A strong man thinks he has to do everything alone,
a man of strength knows he can ask for help.
A strong man thinks he is responsible for everyone,
a man of strength feels he is part of a team.
A strong man makes things happen with his mind or body,
a man of strength follows his heart and soul for the right outcome.
A strong man pushes himself past his limit and becomes agitated,
a man of strength lets his possibilities guide him toward his true-self.
A strong man puts a yoke on his shoulders and suffers in silence,
a man of strength learns that responsibilities can be carried and shared.
A strong man thinks that he must be respected for what he does,
a man of strength knows that he is loved for his kindness.

For many years I've shared the poem: A strong woman vs a woman of strength, and have heard in many different ways how helpful it has been, and still is. Unfortunately the wonderful author of this poem is unknown.
The idea to write a poem about: A strong man vs a man of strength; has been lingering in my mind. Finally I wrote one today and here it is! It's a poem in progress.
This post is for all the men & women of strength who think that they have to be strong all the time, either from or for other people. Try to feel your own inner strength for your own happiness.
Your happiness will automatically make others happy too!
