Happy Birthday, our beautiful little man đ
If I ever have boys theyâll be dangerous men
Theyâll smile at dogs and children and be a tonic to friends
Theyâll send flowers to their mother just because and theyâll be a shoulder for many when the world is too much
My boys will know that vulnerability is strength
They wonât bottle anger, theyâll learn how to express
They wonât let pride be the reason they hide, wearing masks while theyâre hurting inside
My boys will be dangerous men
They wonât stay silent even when itâs uncomfortable for them
Theyâll learn that their actions are more effective than words but theyâll use their voices to amplify the unheard
Theyâll know that love isnât something to perform
Theyâll see beauty in all of its forms
My boys wonât grow learning to emotionally hide
Theyâll reshape masculinity into something they like, make it softer to touch
Theyâll know that who they are is more than enough
Theyâll know that being a man doesnât mean carrying the burden alone
Theyâll learn that an emotional man is a man fully grown
They wonât settle everything with violent swings
Theyâll live in truth even when that truth stings
So yeah, if I ever have boys theyâll be dangerous men
but the danger theyâll be wonât the one society meant
