I walked into the room that first time,
Into the unknown,
Meeting a group of unknown guys.
We introduced ourselves
And sat in a circle.
Other blokes appeared
And were all welcomed.
The leader then introduced the group,
Telling as why it was meeting,
It was for men to share their problems,
And maybe get some answers or advice.
The time went on,
All shared events in their life,
No criticism was forthcoming,
Only words of help and encouragement,
Or words of wisdom
From those who had experienced those events.
A wonderful evening that flashed by,
The meeting ended too soon.
People left with happiness as their friend,
Knowing that in that time
They had come away from those troubles,
Those troubles in their lives.
It may have only been for a short while,
But in that time
They had found freedom.
