Father Figure
I want to be a father figure
Not like
the fugure of my father.
I want to push my kids farther
than Mars or rap stardom
Never seen my father figure cry
even when his father figure died
and went to the sky.
A father figure a father figure I want to be
A son or maybe a daughter's picture
In the park I'm walking with them
Laughing more often than
my father figure and I did.
This poem is for the father figure who lost his father figure
or still has his thoughts of being a father figure -
seeing one - two
feeding three - four
stressed with five - six
No matter how many though this father figure takes care of his.
I want to be a father figure......figure.
