It's not enough
to bring them into the world
because it's obligatory,
because they are the basis of marriage,
or because you didn't know the cost.
It's not enough
to take them to school to learn
because life, gets harder
To be what your father couldn't be.
It's not enough
that you gave so very little affection
all because of your damned job, or time.
It's not enough
because when he wanted to talk about a problem
you told him, "Son, tomorrow. It's late, I'm tired."
It's not enough
to buy him everything you wanted yourself
The new car before graduation
So he'll live what you haven't lived.
It's not enough
to think yourself a great father
because other people tell you
your kids lack nothing.
It's not enough
because when he wanted to talk to you about sex
the color rose in your face
and you left.
It's not enough,
because having a problem,
he ended up buying on the corner
whatever there was, whatever there was.
It's not enough
to buy fancy things,
It's not enough,
when what he needs is love,
to learn to value things,
because you won't be eternal.
It's not enough
To punish him for being late,
If you haven't fallen, already your son is a man
now taller and stronger
Than you, than you.
