Do males really "grow up"?
When I look inside
         What do I see?
The boy I was
         Inside of me.

Must each boy
         Grow to a man,
To work and worry
         To prove he can?

Why can’t the man
         Retain the boy,
And reveal to all
         His youth and joy?

When you look
         I hope you see
The boy I was
         Inside of me.
