Fatherless Son

There are times I have felt so alone in this world. A feeling that's been embedded in me since I was a young, young girl. Now I gravitate to the brightness in every situation. Even now as I have a fatherless newborn son. I look into his eyes and never want to feel like I failed him. Although a relationship with his father is probably very grim. I will do my best to fill every void in my sons precious childhood. do all the things a father should. From how to be a gentleman, To which sports teams he should be a loyal fan. Especially how to be a man of his word. To draw lines in his life and not allow the lines to get blurred. Being accountable for his actions in all that he does. Because as a man you'll only be know for what your legacy once was. So do right by people and set a high standard for you to live by. So one day everyone can say that was one hell of a guy.
