Astell Collins - I am a man

I am a man not only by biology and my anatomy
But by divine assignment, grace and functionality
I am a man given the capacity to be a father
To be just like God, the source and sustainer
I am a man and being a leader is my nature
Though power given to me is the ultimate test of my character
I am a man appointed to be the foundation for my family
Setting an example for the entire community
I am a man grateful for the favour of God
Thanking Him out loud even when it seems quiet odd
Yes I am a man placed upon the earth
To subdue and have dominion before returning to dirt

Astell Collins
