I. Kindergarten
Hasty movement through a candle lit house
His parents commence a joust
Parental violence escalades
A mother's echo fades
A husband strikes his spouses face
A young boy cries in disgrace
Furious rage flings the boy into a cabinet
Climaxing the wrath and magnet
II. Elementary
The world was split some time ago
Parental guidance struck with blows
The father strikes his son down
The child dare not weep a sound
Violent acts amplify each day
So the boy could be a man someday
III. Middle School
Mother strikes his dad's reflection
The boy cringes in acceptation
Cries let forth from destruction once done
A best friend's house a boy must run
Puppy love from one so dark
From the duo a new life will spark.
IV. High School
A child now has his own son
His dad's visions die out, their done
He lost his faith in God that day
And establish with his son a new way
Drugs and violence consumed his father
But the teenagers new love would inspire
V. College
Teaching his son from right and wrong
Brings dreary reminiscences of a lullaby song
Once his dad and friend, now foe
With nothing left, no love to show
VI. Life
He is a father not a dad
His son respects him as a comrade
We are but two different attractions
Built with different views and satisfactions
The man's dad will be missed for the love he lost
But a father should love his son at any cost
To my son I will always love and respect you. Followell 2007

I have two girls and one boy. Having said that my son being the oldest,he is the shyest and clingiest of them all. He definitely loves boy stuff, cars especially. My daughters are tough. They hold their own. My problem is that the friends my son has (all boys) are so rough. I see they...

My son was punished by his father for wetting his pants by "squeezing his penis really hard."...Would you agree that this is abuse? I know every parent will eventually overreact to something their child has done in negative way; I dont think this is just a case of yelling or spanking over...

I know that the holy trinity are all meant to be the same and one being. God is the father and the son and the holy spirit. But, taking into account, this was decided by a group of men hundreds of years after Jesus, what is everyone's opinion on this?If Jesus and God are the same? Why does Jesus...
