For one man, it is a sin to preach,
For another, a sin not to make a speech.
For still another, a sin to sell stock,
For another, a sin to watch o’er a flock.
Masculinity in each man has a desire,
So do not burn it out, but feed that passion fire.
Every man has a duty to which he’s bound:
To make sure his passion in life is found.
He must ask himself what makes him alive.
He must then pursue it, and not deprive.
A deprived man will soon become depraved,
Like a lion caged, no longer able to do or crave.
His vigor gone, his heart is lost, a sad tale to tell.
So do not deny yourself what quickens your very soul,
Pursue your passion, live it out, find Christ, and be whole.
-Austin Ward
