As A Man


People say you must be tough but don't believe in you enough and no matter how much you've cried you should always be filled with pride as a man When people go and put you down and all you want to do is frown take heart my friend for you and I, should raise our hands and look on high as men. You cannot simply talk the talk, if you're not ready to walk the walk always completely do what you say, and if it is right, on your heart it shan't weigh, as a man. You have responsibility to the women, and also, indeed, to the children to be strong and be brave and be true and to always, completely, be you, as a man.
