It's been said, a woman can't teach a boy.
How to be a man?
But one thing that I believe deep down.

A woman can raise her son to be a man.
Yes, there's a different.
More than many people can imagine.

Respect.
A mother can teach this.
Love.
A mother can teach this.
Manners.
A woman can teach this.
Which are some of the qualities of a man.

If pushed.
She can even teaches him sports.

Ask many sons?
Why they are apart of the lucky ones?
Not a number of the prison system.
Not a man trying to con women.

A mother holds more strength than they know.
Just ask one?
Who saw her son become a good man?
