Parental Love

This is what a boy's daddy is for

 

Wrestling on the living room floor

Taking him on four wheelers

Teaching him how to fish

Telling him "Good job in class"

Teaching his son how to tie his tie

Teaching him how to treat a woman

Showing him it's not "okay" to fight

Telling him to walk it off.

Giving him his first bike

 

This is what a boy's mommy is for

 

Kissing his "boo boos"

Acting as a pillow in long car rides

Tucking him in at night

Showing him how to take care of a pet

Teaching him to help out around the house

Teaching him how to treat a woman

Letting him make a mess

Cleaning up that mess

Giving him his first Valentine's

 

This is what a boy's parents are for

 

Teaching him to be a man

Giving him morals to live life

Showing him that family comes first

Letting him see that parents can be fun too

Demonstrating parental love

Letting him see beauty in life

Showing him that God loves him

Letting him make his first decisions

Stepping aside when he becomes an adult

 

Author's Note

No meter, no rhyme... but I hope the content makes up for that.

Well thought out and covered piece. It shows a deeper understanding from both sides of the individuals; what the parents need to do and what the child needs to have. I enjoyed this, and though there is no rhyme it still has a cadence of thought that draws the readers along.
