Momma's Boy/Dad's Little Man--By James Dean Chase--United States

Momma's Boy/Dad's Little Man    

Momma's Boy could seldom cry,
unless tears were in her eye.
He was his Dad's Little Man
facing fears until they ran.

Momma's Boy could seldom cry.
He was his Dad's Little Man.

Rough, tough, strong and agile child,
riding horses - tame and wild.
Whenever Life made him fall,
he got back up - proud and tall.

Momma's Boy could seldom cry.
He was his Dad's Little Man.

Through heights and tribulations
- some slights and salutations,
Momma's Boy/Dad's Little Man
learned to be a gentle man.

Momma's Boy/Dad's Little Man
was himself - a Gentleman.

  1. Thanks James, I really like your poem. I think we all have a gentle and a tough side but being a child there are some more particular expectations about behavior.

    Best wishes,
    Inge
