When Dad isn’t there, a boy’s vision isn’t clear
Try as he might to navigate and steer
He spends a lifetime daily trying to define himself
But with no model present he remains only a broken shell
With no dad around to discipline him in building wealth
He likely turns to drugs and sex which both ruin his health
A boy remains a boy until his father grants him passage
'Til then he’ll go on living a life which is no more than average
Try as he might in life to succeed and prevail
A boy without a father is much more likely to fail
There is a rotting hole in the soul where absent fathers should reside
A mother can never fill a hole this large in size
Yet still a boy confides in his mother’s arms
It’s all he can do when the world portends harm
Images of lions and tigers continuously torment his mind
Because his dad was never there to help him develop a spine
So the boy continues to search out a path on the earth
Though, deep inside he feels that he has little worth
