mAn oH MaN...

"When I was a child, I spoke as a child,
I understood as a child,
I thought as a child,
but when I became a man I put away childish things."

So today, a grown azz man stands before you;
A man made sTrOnGeR as a result of the trials I've toiled through

Motivated, Assertive, and Never wavering, not even for acceptance sake;
Handles grown man B.I. & stays on point, "PoWeR MoVe" is my middle name

No doubt I've confronted the challenge of raising a son, and could probably mentor yours too;
Intellectual dude, willing to teach any young brotha about the stuff that a true gentleman should do

Real men don't wreck homes, we establish them instead ... one fortified brick at a time;
We know how to treat a lady and never hesitate to let it be known that she constantly stays on our mind

A man in his purest essence is a leader, yet he knows when to relinquish control;
That's why I'm never afraid to appear vulnerable, here I am LOVE ... mind, body, and soul

A man understands how to stand on his own, but realizes sHe makes him much better;
So he shows his appreciation by giving foot rubs and surprising her with secret LuV letters

A man doesn't make excuses about how the sYsTeM kept him from going afar;
A man knows full well that its in complete darkness that you best see the LUSTER of a true star.

To build, protect, guide and provide are the primary objectives of a man;
Thankful that even despite the absence of a father, these principles I still understand.

When you look at me, what you should see is 100 percent MAN;
And even if you can't recognize, I know more than a few gOoD folk who can.

Molds And Navigates, Meets A Need;
Mends And Nurtures, follows GOD's lead

Now that boiz and ghurls, is MY definition of a real mAn;
I'm offering cOaCh cLaSS for those of you who still don't understand.
