A Man


A Man

 

When I look at a man

I see foundation

Ready to built

Become something greater than himself 

Confident with his stride

He knows his fathers instillments

Things only a father can give

Contributions a mother could never give

However she will try

This man deserves a family 

Love needed to be experienced by someone not sharing his birth

A process he must face

Determines his life skills and integrity 

He will allow himself to love

Become things he learned to understand 

He turned into a father 

Continuing what was instilled in him

So he offered himself 

And they took, his children 

Passing on a cycle of man

 

That is what I see when I look at a man
