An enlightened and enlivening
Expression of Manhood:
Men who own,
Men who honour,
Men who value,
Their word.
Men from whom I get,
My self reflected:
Greatness of one,
Listening and love,
Friendship and fun,
My manly experience—
Men who create,
A space for others:
For women we love,
For all the young,
For all people we meet,
And further beyond.
We who:
Challenge and cajole,
Push and pull,
Energise and express,
Test and transform,
Our human experience.
Ours is not,
To reason why,
ours is but to do.
And fly.
