A B C's of Being

The greatness of man
Is in the way he perceives
There are many happenings
Some pertain to color
Some to challenge personal stands them self
Going back to what makes a man
Is a woman in childhood rearing
Clear percussion answers 
Correct timing
Brow beating shunned
Showing importance for small conversation
Instilling feeling for feeling
Teaching what best is
The whys of not
Meeting the occasion
It's alright 
To fail
