Went to a celebration last night - our welcome celebration! The students from the Girls and Boys school performed for us. I have to say... the girls killed it!! Ridiculous!!
And boys will be boys... and all that heart.
It is what it is!! Got to let the boys be boys.
Wrote a poem about it, like to hear it? Hear it go!
The Boys
the boys, ahh the boys
sometime before puberty takes over
but just about the time you can see it setting in
the boys
the girls have already memorized their lines
coordinated their movements
gone to competition
and won first place
last week
the boys? well, the boys
still learning the words
figuring out the movements
is that his line? yesterday
you could hear him yell 3 alleys down
and 4 houses over
but tonight, he barely whispers above the geckos
the boys, ahh the boys
just let them dance
forget the choreography
madame, just let them be
let them move like men
a wedding dance, a harvest dance
anything with a cane
give them a stick they can bang on the ground
tell manhood to come
quicker
for they are ready
in their own minds
almost
the boys, ahh the boys
