Seven Stages of Man?

We start as a boy, a lad

loving his mom, his dad,

who for the fortunate will pass the art of "gentleman"

to prepare for a time when occasion may call.

In love, we all fall.

 

We grow though

A sweet Joe

A good guy

A fine fella

 

With our amigos, we are The Hombre

One cool dude

One fun bloke

 

Then, we become Mr. Right

Her soulmate

Until then, perhaps her happy consort

so, so sweet man

 

Then, we are Father

Teaching "real life"

Learning real love

Better men

 

Seven stages?

 

I am asking myself with a boyish grin,

Do I really have to come down from this stage someday?
