How enrapturing it is

To watch a man who truly loves a woman

Step back from the spotlight

So that it shines only on her.

It brings a refreshing joy

To witness him smiling at her

Though she is not even looking at him

As he revels in watching her

Doing what she does best

Without trying to draw any attention to himself

Content not to ask for even a crumb

Of the marvel that enrobes her.

That pure sort of love that seeks

Not to distract from her greatness

Not to share in her fame

Not to outdo her talents

Makes the witnesses of it sigh for want of the same.

How precious it is to see man a love a woman like that.
