(SOLDIERS OR BORN WARRIORS ARE MADE)


From a boy to a
Man
He fell down and struggled and struggled
To get up from his troubles
pain, hurt, and misery was all he felt.

Looking in his eyes
You could see he was screaming for
Help.
No role model father figure?
But himself.

From a boy to a
Man.
He became strong when ever he fell down
He got back up and carried
On.

They say pain makes you
Prosper and grow.
It gave the boy the willpower to get up and
Go.

From a boy to a
Man.
He still doesn’t understand
But he does know
If he gets back up he can.

From a boy to a man
He had to stay honest and tough but
His worst battle was growing
Up.
