A Man

To lead is to understand that your actions effect more than just yourself but those around.
To be an example is to understand that there are always other people watching you, emulating you.
To be a good brother is to have your brothers' back, to take care of them, to make sure no one hurts them, to enforce your parents teachings.
To be a good boyfriend is to listen and to understand, to be there when no one else is, to push her to be her greatest self and to recognize that somethings just aren't worth fighting for.
To be a good husband is to take care of her, to love her, to grow old with her, to know her, to make sure she is never lonely, to show her that with age does not come the loss of passion.
To be a good father is to take care of your children, to enforce the ideas of right and wrong, to discipline when necessary, to admit when you are wrong, to love your children unconditionally.
To be a man is to be honest to yourself first, to be honest to others second, to live up to your responsibilities, to do what's right despite your desires and needs. To recognize that sometimes you need to put others before yourself.

I dream of a world where I have the strength to lead those who need guidance.
I dream of a world where I am a proper example to those who seek one.
I dream of a world where I am good brother. I dream I am an example to them. Someone to protect them from their own mistakes. Someone that does not lead them into trouble.
I dream of a world where I could once again be a good boyfriend to someone who needs it. I dream I can offer her an ear to listen, a mind to understand, a presence when there is no other, and a compromising spirit.
I dream of a world where I am a loyal husband to my wife. I dream I am able to take care of her, to love her, to grow old with her, to keep her company, and to remain passionate as time fades us away.
I dream of a world where my wife and I have children. I dream I am a good father who raises his kids into something I can be proud of.

These things I am not.
But I am a man.
