I'm not much of a poet, don't really like poetry that much. But I've slowly added to this over the past few years and thought maybe I should put it somewhere that most no one will look but maybe will be saved. So here it is.
A
Boy and A Man
A Boy works
because he is made to,
A Man works
to serve others.
A Boy is
given responsibilities,
A Man takes
responsibility.
A Boy looks out only for himself,
A Boy looks out only for himself,
A Man looks
out for others.
A Boy
depends on others to help him,
A Man is
depended on by others for help.
A Boy looks
for how little he can do,
A Man looks
for the job to be complete.
A Boy makes
excuses,
A Man sees
his faults.
A Boy
complains,
A Man is
grateful for what he has.
A Boy thinks
he did everything right,
A Man is
always looking for ways to do it better.
A Boy sees
himself as the final authority,
A Man
recognizes the need for submission.
There are old
boys and there are young men.
Which are
you?
