Male Bonding

Growing Pains

Well my “once-upon-a-times”
We each must move onward

No more threats of death
Allowed to hang over us

No more running away
From trials of each day

Just facing and bracing
Remembering lessons

Hard-earned by blood
Lost between fingers

Stemming the wounds
By gauzed-over sutures

And turning our faces to
Become whole under sun
