Why am I rare?

Is it because I care?
And I’m not embarrassed to share?
Is it because I don’t care who knows I’m there?
Is it because I’m willing to take on more than I can bare?
Is it because in public, I invite the opportunity for another to stare?
I love it when YOU stare at me, because YOU know YOUR dad takes on the responsibility selfishly, without the initial thought TO share?

Why am I rare?

I should be the majority!
What I do, should not be a story!
How I am with YOU does not deserve any glory!
I post what I do not to get recognition, I’m just happy to give YOU attention and I can’t control being proud!
Shoutouts to my son; if I had a loud speaker, I would scream, “I got your back!”
YOU motivate me to be better, YOU motivate me to do more, and you motivate me to be greater than the greatest!

(FOR YOU, TO YOU, WITH YOU).

YOU give me a look, I work harder, my heart moves, my mind follows, my pride, if needed, I swallow, because I want YOU to be more than okay.

I’m there physically, mentally, emotionally and every other way when it’s time for YOU to face this!
Or that, or who, it doesn’t matter because my son, I GOT YOU!

My nephew, I got you! My little cousin, I got you! My niece, I got you! My mentees, I got you! My clients, I got you! My brother, I got you! My friends, I got you!

Rare, nah, there, yes…
After taking care of what I made, is when I rest!
As I continue to write, I think even if we all stood up and took care of our business as fathers, I would still want to stand out!

If that is rare, I embrace rare because I’m more than there!

I’m YOUR father, I’m YOUR daddy, I’m YOUR example, I’m who God ordained me to be!

I appreciate all the men in YOUR life that present strength! We work together!

I STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO!

I LOVE YOU SON!
