Choices

How do I cope when my world is about to change
She's two months pregnant and we can't think of a name
Reality is about to hit this boy or girl will have needs
We were so young in our choices now another mouth to feed
What should I do now act like others and abandon ship
Or stick it out be a man and write my own script
I never had a father so the world will understand if I can't cope
But my heart keeps telling me if I leave my child may have no hope
Now I'm at the crossroads do I stay a boy or become a man
I decided to stay weather the storm and be the best example that I can
I'm feeling different now I have such pride and joy
Cause a couple of months later the sonogram showed a healthy baby boy
That was 20 years ago and I have no doubt in my mind
Because I stayed I became a man over this period of time
Don't get me wrong it wasn't easy we had our ups and downs
But things may have been a lot tougher had I not been around
I'm a proud father to say the least cause he's such an intelligent man
I give his mother all the credit but know I did the best that I can
