Dad's Duty

Father,father, where are you?Can't you see what you put my mother through? Playing house was fun.Never realizing the cost of being the boss. What am I suppose to do? I'm just a teenager trying to graduate from high school;and now I have a baby on the way.Will I jump ship and say "get that baby out of my face?" Playing house was alot of fun. Now the real test has begun...I don't want to be a father who just gave seed .I want to be a daddy that takes care of his responsibilities. I'm a teenager that graduated from high school.I have no time to play around with the various crowds. I'm now college bound. I have to get this degree,because I have a mouth to feed.I have alot of needs myself . It's not easy you see! Now that I have a degree.I'm able to take of me and my baby.Playing house was alot of fun ; but the whole experience has made a man out of me.Don't be a father who just give seeds . Be a daddy that takes care of his responsibilities.
