I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people! I am back after a break. Thanks for still being here, if you are! Missed you! xxx

Oh, yes, Maxi! Remember when parents would say, ‘Come on then, you’re a big boy, not a cry baby.’

so true…and sad that many hide their emotions…not wanting other to perceive it as weakness…this is big in men especially….

Yes, Brian, when parents would encourage their little boys to ‘be a man’. 😦
