He sits in the car and waits for his wife whilst she shops in the superstore <br />He is such a very patient person he waits for her for an hour or even more <br />And when she arrives to the car with the full shopping trolley he helps her put the bags of groceries on the back seat <br />He's a patient and a good husband as one might say a gentleman complete, <br />Some men with their wives are cranky but big Joe he is not that way <br />He would not even raise his voice to her if he had to wait for her all day <br />A gentle giant one well might call him since he is a huge and strong man <br />He towers head and shoulders above her his slim and not so tall wife Ann, <br />He did not have a good upbringing an easy life he has not had <br />His father often beat him and his mother he was not a nice man his dad <br />But he himself did not turn out a child and wife beater he loves his children and his wife <br />Which goes to prove we should not blame lack of love in our childhood for wrongs we do to others in life <br />But then suppose not everyone can be like the kindhearted and the gentle giant Joe <br />A man who loves his wife and his children and a very nice person to know.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-gentle-giant-joe/
