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.
