DIFFERENT PATH

In a world where value is bestowed at birth, She was born with worth, a treasure on this earth. While man was left with nothing in his hand, She had choices at 18, a life so grand. At 25, she searches for love and connection, While you search for goals, a different direction. At 30, she slows down, finding her pace, While you're just getting started, in life's race. A woman's life begins at 18, they say, While a man's journey starts at 30, a delayed display. She must protect her value, a precious gem, While you must build yours, brick by sturdy stem. No pressure, no rush, take your time, No getting rich quick, no uphill climb. Calm your nerves, find your way, Maturity and society, a wicked display. Working harder, grinding harder, to make it in life, Taking care of parents, in the midst of strife. To be a man isn't easy, it's a tough road, But with strength and perseverance, you'll carry the load. So stand tall, with pride and grace, Embrace the challenges, in life's race. For you are strong, resilient and true, A man of value, shining through.
