REAL MEN - POEM


  1. REAL MEN
    © by Mary Nida Smith
    Men called Dad
    Was important
    To their family
    The man of the house
    And sometimes,
    The oldest son
    Carried that title.
    A man must love
    His wife and children.
    A man should believe
    His wife has equal rights
    As a man has, and that
    They both follow
    Their own belief,
    He must never be a man
    About town
    Nor his wife.
    If they both believe this
    They now, can be pronounce
    Man and wife.
  2. I wrote this for David L. Harrison W.O.M. on his blog.

Books for Children

http://www.bookologymagazine.com/issue/august-2016/ I found this site interesting.
I am hoping to rejoin SCBWI and devote more time to my favorite genre, writing children's books. In-between I will continue to promote my latest release- Heroes Beneath the Waves..., that I wrote for all ages, for I want students to"Never Forget"  how submarine veterans helped save our world during World War II.
