When I was young, my mom used to say,

"You'll grow up to be a man someday."

I never thought about consequences until

I grew up to be a man for real.

Every child has someone they want to be,

And this fact was no different for me.

I wanted to be just like my mother.

She raised me to be unlike any other.

I do my best in everything I do,

And for the rest of my life, this will be true.

Every child goes somewhere for protection

From the boogey-man, death and viral infection.

My eldest sister always kept me from harm

And gave me her coat so I could keep warm.

When I needed someone to lend a shoulder or an ear

All I needed to do was ask, she was always near.

In order to grow, young men must protect someone.

They also have to have some form of fun.

Both of these were provided by my lil' sister

She was the only one I could find to pester

She'll provide all the joy I need in life

Of course, until I settle down and find a wife.

Men need women from birth until they die.

It was because of women 'Old Abe' could not tell a lie.

It's known that women make the world go round,

But it's men who keep women safe and sound!
