IT TAKES A MAN TO BE A MAN
TO ADD A NAME TO THE FAMILY TREE
BUT IF YOU CANT BE A MAN
AND STICK BY YOUR PLAN
THEN ILL LET MY HEART GO FREE
IVE GOT YOUR SON INSIDE OF ME
BUT YOUD RATHER A "P"
THAT STANDS FOR PLAYER
THAN STAND UP AND BE A "D-A-D"
YOUD RATHER RUN WAY WILD
THAN STAND BY YOUR CHILD
YOU NEED TO STAND UP AND BE A FATHER
OTHERWISE DONT BOTHER
  
  - REBECCA VIEU (c)


THIS POEM I WROTE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO THAT IS DEDICATED TO MY SONS FATHER WHO DECIDED HED PLAY GAMES INSTEAD OF BEING A FATHER. AND NOW HE IS NOT IN OUR LIVES. BUT WE ARE DOING FINE WITHOUT HIM/
