Who is training the next generation?


...Although others may say different
Please listen to your heart
Don't let other's dictate
how your life will start.
Don't let others say
How you see me
When the time comes, Let me in
But for now, Please don't judge me
you will always be my son
and I will always be your dad
But since I cant bet there
you're the best son I never had

It seems every time I turn around it seems more and more young boys are not being raised by their fathers.  As a product of a Fatherless household, I will not negate the fact that a woman can do a very exquisite job of raising a man. But I will say, that will not replace a boys need for his father.  There is a word of scripture that says, train a child in the way they should go, when they are old they will not forget it. Now I know this is probably not exact verbiage, but I'm pretty sure you get the point.  So where are all the fathers that are responsible for training their sons? Who are you training to take your place and carry on your name and your legacy? Let me know your thoughts!
