So many times, good men get beaten down because of a few of the unscrupulous men in the midst but I want to assure you that I respect your presence and your absolute existence.
I am so pleased with the roles I see many men/fathers play with their kids whether financially, spiritually, education wise and holistically. I am also pleased with the many dads who take on responsibilities and what you must continues as dads is to emphasize the importance of standing up to your responsibility as a man and father to your dependent, your kids.
Remember they were not asked to be born. Show positive examples to your kids and be there for them even if you and the mum are no longer together, whether through divorce or because the relationship simply didn't work out, so that they can follow your example and be better men.
I must stress specifically that I admire the ones who though strayed still remain committed to their kids in every sense of responsibility and I must warn some women that when you find a good guy even though he's left you or strayed and he wants to see his kids, please allow him to continue that bonding/connection with his kids.
Let go off all the strife and bitterness you may be feeling towards him, and think of the kids. I am not saying to go back with him but be courteous and amicable with him, sometimes we are our greatest enemy. Even if he hurt you in the past, a hurt remains a hurt only when you dwell on it; forgive, heal and move on. He hurt you; so what? Life goes on and will go on. Kids 'breathe in' what they see.
I say this because I'm divorced and my kid never knew why we split nor does he ever see us fighting over anything, all he knows is he is loved by us both and that's enough to let him know that life has challenges but mum and dad will make it right for him until he can make it on his own. I put my kid before myself because he never ask me to bring him to this world or mess we created.
His dad supports him financially and is there for moral support in whatever decision he has to make. I never leave his father out of decision making regarding his son, and they get to see each other when time allows as they are oceans apart. Sometimes we purposely make life hard for our kids when we get hard-hearted, forgetting that those kids suffer for our selfishness.
Too many kids are crying out for the attention of a dad, probably haven't seen them for as long as they have known themselves nor they haven't been assisting them in any form or fashion.
So to all the good men out there who do not shun their responsibility but are men enough to admit their mistakes/falters in life but yet face up to their responsibilities, kudos to you. I gently nod my head to you in acknowledgement of all good men.
Never feel belittled by the wrongs of the few. You are my king; I salute you, I cherish you, love you and treasure you.
You are strong, you are the authority God placed on this earth. We compliment each other in every way. In you, I discovered my femininity, and yes my masculinity as well being absorbed into you; your aura.
Sometimes I want to control you and you let me and that's because I want to tame you just like a lioness does to her lion but we both know who's the man. You give me my space, my rhyme and most importantly, my time (oh yes I wrote this line in another poem before but this is how it flows and I'm keeping it real:-)
You have given me an absolute reason to love you and the reason is - no reason. I just love you because you add so much essence to my existence in every sense.
A real 'family' man; in the home, community, the world at large. You are the glue to our kids future.
Never neglect your role and purpose. You are wanted, you are needed. I HAIL YOU!! I SALUTE YOU!!
This poem is dedicated to all strong, great and mighty men who stand tall (nothing to do with height:-) but your presence), yet hold your place in society as stalwarts in the hearts of your family and friends and everyone you have come in contact with.

You Are My Brother, You Are My Father
You Are My Lover And My Teacher
You Are Appreciated, You Are Loved
You Take Care Of Me, I feel So Loved
I Respect Your Fortitude And Your Power
Cause You Hold The Key To My Tower
You Please Me With Your Attitude
And This I Owe You My Gratitude
When I'm In Your Arms, I Feel No Pain
When I'm With You, My Feelings I Can't Contain
Only You Have The Power To Silence My Desire
And Make Me Surrender And Light My Fire
So Many Times You've Been Beaten Down
By The Others Who Couldn't Hold Your Crown
Because They Gave You A Bad Name
And Made You Hold Your Head In Shame
I Am Your Shadow, You Are My King
Though I Don't Worship You
You're The Man Of My Dreams
You Gave Me A Ring And Made Me Your Queen
So Today And Always I Will Hail You
I Am Praising All You Great Men
You Are Appreciated, You Are Like Gems
I Hail You, I Respect Your Presence
You Empower Me, You Protect Me
With Your Presence, Your Existence
You Are God's Gift To Every Woman
God Knew What He Did When He Made Man
