Becoming a man

1.Is this what you would become,
A knight, a king, a god among?
Guard your mind and yield to none,
This is how the day is won.

2. Once you've begun a thing to do,
Just make sure you finish too,
Never let your passions rule,
Pride and anger make us fools.

3. Do not let petty things impede,
But take the higher road and lead,
Kill with kindness sow a seed,
Be the man you're sposed to be.

4. Control yourself speak less you'll score,
Make her feel like none before,
Say a word with letters four,
And always leave her wanting more.

5. No man's immortal all will die,
Live better moments, laugh, cry,
Take from Chance regret can't thrive,
This is how you come alive!

6. Words have broken not just sticks
And stones right to the heart they prick,
Before you say them oh so quick,
Bite your tongue there's no quick fix!

7. Lucky, lucky number seven,
Think we all will go to heaven,
Without sacrifice or penance?
Live however, do whatever,

8. Promise, promise never break,
Never make the lady wait,
What're you put your hand to make,
Do it now 'fore it's too late!

9. Be a man make up your mind,
Never leave your kids behind,
Instead make stronger tie that binds,
They may repay, when years decline.

10. Some imposters, most pretend,
Some will suffer cowards' end,
Some refining fire will lend,
Means to turn young boys to men.
