A description of the differences between a man and a boy.

Where boys still make a lot of noise.

Boys have no grounding, they fall for all of the ploys.

The man is humble,

His faith is in God, and doesn’t crumble.

The boy is full of flash,

With no spiritual substance

The man learns from gainful experience

The boy will repeat his checkered past.

The boy needs a man, to mentor him

And train him to stand as a man.

Maturity and wisdom: those are the differences

between a boy and a man.

    True. And it has been my experience that manhood does not necessarily begin at 18, or 21, or 50 for that matter. It is only when males take responsibilty for their lives and actions that they become men.
