    SOUL AFFIRMATION (4 MY DAUGHTER)

    Father

    People will always say

    what you can and cannot achieve

    but only you

    can find the reasons 2 believe

    no man alive can accurately say

    whether Jesus Christ died

    young or gray

    4 in the end 

    we must trust in the faith 

    of our 

    soul affirmations

     

    baby girl

    the only entity not prejudice

    in this world is the dawning sun

    upon the racist and the righteous

    it shines on everyone

    illuminating the blessed cross

    or the barrell of a gun

     

    as I write these words

    I pause frequently when 

    they begin 2 cry

    if loving you is not a blessing

    your daddy is prepared 2 die

    4 you are the truth

    in my 

    soul affirmations

     

    remember the false rumors

    as the tide ebbed and swayed

    the day 

    your mother and I broke away

    the whispers of how your life 

    would never be the same

    what they didnt know

    is your mother and I were 

    blessed from the start

    and though we had 2 part

    you remained our 

    heart

    and 

    soul affirmation

     

    I know

    life is not always as it seems

    but our earthly existence began

    when the creator had a dream

    and even he was forced 2 rest 

    on the seventh day

    come what may

    always know the road 2 achievement

    is often paved with discontent

    find a special place in your heart 

    2 repent

    trust your daddy 

    you will be sent confirmation

    of your 

    soul affirmations

     

    if I

    die

    upon this very day

    these words I pen will last forevermore

    you 

    I truly adore

    so always be proud 

    of your legacy

    4 together your mother and I

    shaped who you are

    but you control whom you will be

    you represent the sweetest fruit 

    from the tree

    of african  american 

    carribean royalty

    and 4 this wretched life

    and yes

    eternity

    you have always been

    and shall forever be

    my 

    soul affirmation
