Listen to poem:
What Makes a Man
I try to keep an open mind
and accept people as they are
with their differences and quirks
What separates the boys from men
May be much the same as
what separates the girls from women
A grander sense
of how they can
contribute to mankind
a genuine concern
for how they can
make this world
a better place
What makes a man
what makes a woman
is their integrity
it’s their connection
to the human race
