A Man

I'm a man with a plan and all God's promises in the palm of my hand. I'm a man at times.Many can not understand, but just remember that there is a plan . I'm a man that has subdued the land with my bare hands to make ends meet for me and my family. I'm a man with some short fuses, offering no excuses for the fuses of frustration that abide in the humanistic side in the man in me. I'm a man that well balanced. You see the thuggishness from the projects with zero tolerance for the foolishness. Mamma's little big man is an extension of the little boy left inside without the perverted pride that grown men try to hide. I'm a daddy in two ways, not just one.I'm a daddy that caters to all occasions and seasons, and sometimes for no apparent reason.Daddy is who I 'll be providing for the family. I'm a daddy to the rib from my side covering all corners .spiritually,naturally,physically emotionally and financially. Daddy is who I be. A provider connected to the tree.Ending it with this piece. The rib from my side has help developed the backbone in me . I'm so fortunate to be married to my lifetime mate.You see. I'm a man with a Bible in the Palm of my hand. I'm a man, that's who I'll be.
