how do i allow my son
to become a man: one
worthy to fail & be all
a woman could ever want
i do
not think i have the courage
to let my son be such a
man,
i want
nothing more than to hold him
watch him jump, play trains
it would
be so easy to let this be his life,
so easy to control, yet
i know
in me that this is not life; this
is not to be a man, a man
who finds
life a gift and a reason to exist
