DEARLY BELOVED

Hey honey, you good in there sweetie?
Well out here we good and living,
Trying to embrace life a day at a time.
I know it’s warm in there but honey,
The weather is torturous beyond there,
One moment it’s a beautiful bright day,
And the next it’s too cold to get out of bed.
Yeah, we got resting structures, beds, out here.

Dear baby, I love you, I always will.
I swear that on my life daily sweetheart.
You give me a reason to keep moving,
A reason to look forward to the next day,
To rise up early for my blue collar job,
To thank the Master and the heavens.
You give me the purpose I never had.
Anyways you and I need to talk my love.

There is a whole new world beyond there,
A world with both beautiful and nasty things,
One with love and hate coexisting together,
A world with different cultures and beliefs,
One where tradition is almost forgotten,
A world where people are similarly different,
One with black and white people, one society.
A society that could make or destroy you.

So many things are bound to happen my love,
So much is and will continue transpiring,
It’s a metamorphosis, and change is inevitable.
The warmth you are used to will eventually end,
And sometimes the cold will be your new life.
But you have to understand one thing my love,
The society is harsh, just like every teacher is,
When they want us to learn different aspects.

You will have to grow up and take your place here,
And you will realize a lot is not how it seems.
The society is a harsh place to be in my love,
But only the tough will survive when night falls.
There may be times when you will make wishes,
Just remember that you can only wish for something,
If you are ready to work towards achieving it.
There are no silver platters in this world sweetheart.

When the sun goes down and the moon brightens,
I’ll always be around anytime you will need me,
When cold, I’ll provide you with a mother’s warmth,
And when you face the harsh realities of your new home,
I’ll always be there, to guide you through and through,
To remind you that you are not alone, never have been.
I’ll always work toward making things better for you.
And until the sun sets in the East and rises in the West,
My dearly beloved, I will always be your mama. Always.
