There once was a time

When you both were just boys

Playful and relaxed you were

Unaware of what your future may hold


But in every boys' life, there comes a time

Where the boy must grow up

And become a man

Others can depend on


This man must be

Firm towards his enemies

Gentle towards his loved ones

Respectful towards strangers

And optimistic towards the world


Though, sadly, in our modern age

More often...
