Boys Quote by Larry Cowell
“WHEN A BOY BECOMES A MAN When a boy becomes a man he will put aside his childish ways, that man will become eager to take care of responsibilities and eagerly take on other responsibilities that's not asked of him. When a boy becomes a man he will love, cherish and realize the importance of life. When a boy becomes a man, he will stop loving his self & his actions more than others. he will put his priorities in order to grow to mentor and unify his life. A man will shed tears because of the burdens on his shoulders, but not because of the weight, but because of the love in his heart that he has for his fellow man. When a boy becomes a man his demeanor, life & words, will begin to edify those around him. And the transformation to a man will coalesced into one with his wisdom & soul.”
