Raise A Girl In Honesty, A Boy In Might

I will trust you
Till you give me a reason not to
I honor few
Until showing, they know what to do

Its the offsping
That tells for the good or very bad
Its not the fling
Or sudden actions that make me mad

Who are your friends
And why? who has first place in your heart
Are there limits?
Who gets your credit from every start

Girls thrive from trust
Boys, from control and the silent what
All else a trap
And a chain that binds a useless weight

We are not friends
I am father from the very jump
Not liking me
Marks a line, that starts from the gas pump

Its your respect
I shall keep, and use it as  our fuel
To light the path
For your off-spring, started from your duel

A girl learns trust
From her father, how he treats mother
Boys learn through might
A Man, one way or another
