Menstuff® has compiled the following in memory of Fred Rogers, the best damn male role model television ever had.
Won’t you Be
My neighbor
we will take off
our sweaters together
and gently hold them out
between us to admire
then hang up on
a shared hook
Like a Llama
whose only religion
is Kindness
we will pledge allegiance
to the Goodness
that inspires the
outward Bang of
a Benign Universe
as it endlessly unfolds
Then we will sit down
smile, laugh,
have fun
make interesting
things together,
tell all our stories
up and down our
Neighborhoods
because
we
know
we
can
can’t we?
I think
We Can

Man "becomes" man only by the intelligence, but he "is" a man
only by the heart. - Henri-Frederic Amiel
