Making Of a Man - Original Poetry

Making of a Man

Of all that we are given
enters in the joy of life,
of love and new beginnings
Born of blood and painful cries.

A newborn as he enters,
The innocence of earth
Entrusted to a mother,
Cleansing waters hail new birth.

A cradled babe in swaddling clothes
she sings sweet lullabies
With night a moon is rising,
See it shining through her eyes.

She pulls the infant closer
Her footsteps sure and light
In poverty or riches
None matches with her pride.

The future growth is promised,
a path of hope is bearing light.
Her work is never simple
Her candle burning ever bright.

The choices of his making
Will make a man of him,
The prayers of a mother
Will gird him from within.

Nice poetry, I remember that I was born my child.

Excellent, I love the line "Born of blood and painful cries" so true, I wrote something similar of my assumed experience of being born and I feel that it rings true for everyone. Thanks for sharing.

Hate to be the stickler but the tag 'poetry challenge' has a typo. How do we make tags just type anything in the tag i.e. hashtag section when we post?

Hi! Thank you for the comment... And the person who started the Poetry challenge actually misspelled it on purpose. If you click the hashtag you will go to everybody who has been participating. Yes,
You can make any type that you want with # + the word. Take care!

Like #hashtags2changehumanthinking

Damn! This poem dug deep... :O
No matter how mighty a man becomes in life, he will always know humility first with the women in said life, his mother chief among them. It is natural.

Amazing piece of work :D
Kudos, and thank you for bringing it into the world :P
Cheers :)
