Here's Alison: To Show Humility
Alison Ross's advice in verse could be used by every mother of a teenage son.
Not yet seventeen,
But I’m a man
And I’ve my fists to prove it
No weakling I
So Mum don’t cry
And shake your head in sorrow.
Son
A man is measured thus…
Not by fists
And blood and guts
But by his own ability
To show
Humility.
