A sports role model is not a daddy substitute
"Boys Need Daddies"
by Robert Zimmerman
I lived my life without a dad.
It left a void so clear.
I saw the other boys with dads,
yet, shed I not a tear.
My grandma dear became my pops.
Loved me like her own child.
She tried so hard to do the things
that let me not run wild.
I heard her voice, obeyed her will,
tried so hard to behave.
A growing boy needs lots of love,
and lots of love she gave.
I know about the boys these days,
acting wild and bratty.
Role models are not what they need.
These boys need a daddy.
