You're more important to me than the air I breathe,
more refreshing than the feel of the fresh autumn breeze.
You are my sun rays, my nights, my days,
only you can count my ways.
You bring me knowledge, hope and joy,
GOD blessed my life sending my lil boy.
Through me, a prince or king was born,
and I'll protect and guide his honor, with every shield I have that I sworn.
You kneel before no one but the Lord Jesus Christ,
and never say anything without thinking twice,
I'd rather you say nothing if it isn't anything nice.
I want you to honor thy father and thy mother,
because there will be no other.
Respect your elders and your women,
because trying to defeat them, is defeating your fellow Nubians.
When you reach a point where you feel you're a man,
make sure everything you do, you fully understand.
Become a leader not a follower and always, I mean always speak your mind,
regardless of what, I'll be there each and every time.
There will come a point in your life when I'm no longer here,
but heartfelt and spiritually I'll always be there.
When your days are looking gloomy and your nights are cold,
I want you to step back analyze and remember the stories your momma told.
Keep your head focused and try not to fall into the wrong crowd,
just finishing school and becoming someone will make your momma proud.
One more thing before I go,
keep your personal life in your home, never make it a show,
becoming a spectacle for someone else only helps the fire to grow.
Never believe the grass is greener is someone else yard,
you can just as much if you work just as hard!!
I love you my son,
now my work here is done!!!!
