Example
In the dawning of my manhood
As boy grew into form
I dreamed of being half a man
With a need to be reborn
I hoped to take his temperament
And all decisive ways
But I went on to do things hastily
Succumbing to teenage days
When I finally thought I grew to be
A man to take control
I saw my life was not like his
And had to take a hold
My father was my example
But, I had failed to be
Half the man I saw him as
I had failed, you see
I put things in perspective
I needed then to change
I stopped as quickly as I could
My life, I rearranged
Now, that I am older
I have a son like me
But, he is like the boy I was
I hope one day he’ll see
I must remain steadfast
Let faith remain with me
I hope to be half the man
That he would try to be
