A Man's Life

There are times in a man's life
When he must work for what he wants
He must work hard if he is to achieve what he desires

There are times in a man's life
When he must sweat
He must do back breaking labor for little reward

There times in a man's life
When he must suffer
He must endure the pain and injustice of a cruel society

There are times in a man's life
When he must cry
He must grieve when his sorrow burdens him down

There are times in a man's life
When he must stand
He must stand and take charge of his world

There are times in a man's life
When he must love
He must demonstrate the affection and emotion that has nurtured him

At all times in a man's life
He must simply be a man

He must work
He must sweat
He must labor
He must suffer
He must endure
He must cry
He must stand
And he must love
He must love
He must love

Yes, he must love
