boys wear wings
By meredith winn

my son is not a momma's boy
he is not a crybaby
he's not a pussy, a wimp, or a scaredy cat.
he does not need to be toughened up
or detached
or pushed.
he is who he is.
respect him as i do
for his intensity, his stare, his aversion.
his bond, his attachment, his fears.
he is who he is
and nothing you can say or do
will change that about him.
please love him for who he is.
he's exactly as he should be.
we are exactly as we should be.
he, my son.
me, his momma.
