Love Poem: Fatherhood

Fatherhood

Raising these babies,
As a father I done had my ups and downs,
As a man I be praying I don't let my babies down,
As a brother my religion has me focused on The Highest,
As I pray and you know I got my babies right beside me,
As a father gotta teach them that within there's something greater,
As a man I love their mothers without them I couldn't make them,
As a brother my religion has me focused on a better way,
I know I'm far from perfect but at least I taught them how to pray.
Raising these babies,
As a father I done cried so many times,
As a man if I can't feed them I'll turn to a life of crime,
As a brother my religion tells me put them babies first,
After God life is hard but I know it could be worst,
As a father I'll protect them cause I love my sons and daughters,
As a man I'm responsible to nurture and support them,
As a brother my religion tells me teach them equity,
They're my heart and without them I don't think that I can breathe.
