Giving birth to a boy
How glad a mother feels,
how proud a father feels.
You watch him smile,
watch him crawl
watch him stride
And then run.
With big dreams you believe
in the world to watch him strive.
You show him love
give him care
Making things for him neat and fair.
But such happiness,comes with great responsibility.
In the world where he learns pleasures,
Teach him pain.
As he learns power,
Teach him responsibility.
As he delves into dreams,
Teach him priorities.
Show him good,show him evil
Show him the angels and the devils.
Teach him the parallels.
Teach him what to do and what not to do.
Teach him to value women.
Teach him to respect her.
Ask him not to add to her darkness,
But to bring her hope and brightness.
