Fighting for your soul�.

You are my baby, son, and responsibility.

I gave birth to you and accepted the role of nurturer to inspirit growth.

The growth of a man, not statistic. To educate you on accountability and responsibility. To give you a fighting chance, with a future.

These days the fight is a none stop task. Kids will be kids and learn from their mistakes �they� say.

Until the mistake�s so great. There is no rewind, can�t take it back. Then �they� say, �why didn�t I?�

But I try and you deny�. the need to parent� Because kids will be kids, right?

Boys don�t play pranks and climb trees today. Mischief these days can cost a price too expensive to pay.

Cause and effect! And the effects of your actions caused this.

But I�m over reacting� kids will be kids�

Until that day I can�t say, he�s just a kid because the consequence of this mistake I can�t fix.

Can�t save him, he just became a man� in an instant. This is what I choose to prevent.

Perpetual need to remain blind to the change in the game, new rules now�. you play with your life.

But I continue to fight, because I�m fighting for your soul.
