Son of a Man

A son needs a father I said, my son needs his father Not just to feed and provide for him But to lead, protect, and be a guide for him Show him how to be a man in the color of his skin Give him rules to all the principles that abides within Show him who you are but better in the light of his eyes Dropping gems of infinite knowledge to be taught is what he relies Giving examples of a man is what he will keep inside Fearing no one but himself and not to go beneath his pride Raising elements in his mind of his natural progression Teaching what you've learned so he can conquer with a greater succession Giving passionate ideas to defeat so that he can grow Making obstacles obsolete so that he will learn to know Just a matter of time before he understands your ways And unleash what he redeemed to be confidently displayed Learning how to judge a character and things to avoid Being outstanding in his education to provide the tools that employ It's an accurate decision when he makes the choice he does He is taught with ingenuity to empower what he loves
