Love Poem: The Man Is the Head

The Man Is the Head

The man is the head of his wife
The same way the literal head
Is to the physical human body.
This means that the man or husband
Is supposed to love his wife,
To protect and nourish the same.

If the body didn't have a head
We would have to go look for it
For the body indeed needs one.
Otherwise where would the thinking
And the coordination come from?
Of course, the head too needs a body!

The head cannot walk or point.
It can't deliver food to the mouth.
It cannot write or play a guitar.
It also needs the organs in it:
The mouth, the nose, the ears, the eyes,
Without which it is but nothing.

The head coordinates its own body
And not the bodies of other heads
As a man is head of his wife.
Similarly he's a caring one,
Always seeking to please his wife.
How secure his wife thus feels!

It is the bible that laid down this law
At first Corinthians eleven, verse three;
But it says that the first head is God.
It also says that God is love
And what a provider that one is!
That is how the man is head!
