Will the Real Men Please Stand Up

A free verse reflection on Christian manhood by Keith Drury

I am a man.
At least I want to be.
I am male,
for sure.
But am I a man?
What makes a male a man?
What turns a boy into a man?
I need models.
Please show yourself, men.
So I can see you.
Study your ways.
Admire you.
Imitate you.
Will the Real Men
Please Stand Up.
Silence.
Fidgeting
Chuckling.
Uncertainty.
