The SPace
Be A Man!
A small boy picks himselffrom the ground.
A bloody mark upon a knee.
Not a sound.
Not a tear to see.
Mummy says, ‘Big boys don’t cry’ –
Years have passed,
a family reared.
Those inner tears
must not be heard.
A daughter says, ‘Big men don’t cry’
My days are done,
My life is run!
May I cry?
Now?
Please?
