"A Real Man"

A man that makes a baby is not yet a man
He is a man when he raises that child and not leave them fatherless


A man is not a man, just because he can have many women
He is a man when he looks at those women with a respect and not as objects


A man is not a man, just because he can hold a steady job
He is a man, when he can take responsibility for himself and pay his own way


A man is not a man when he lives with a woman, but contributes nothing but his penis
He is a man when he can step up to the plate and help her in every aspect of her life


A man is not a man when he refuses to leave his mother's home and stays for a free ride
He is a man when he can stand on his own-two feet and give back to his mother what she's given to him


A man is not a man, when he is cold, hard and holds back all his emotions
He is a man when he can show his vulnerable side and show he has a heart


This world seems to be filled with many men, claiming to be a man
Yet you are still a boy, living as a man, but having no clue you possess no qualities of a "Real Man"
