Letter to my unborn child

I wish I could tell you everything will be okay,
when you are laying in the hospital bed.
I know you will not be able to live a normal life because of the "disease" passed down from mother to child,
I am sorry,
Sorry that you will have to spent your childhood staring at white walls and strange women with red crosses on their uniform,

I am sorry,if I am not able to give you the same love as your father would have,
but I would love you unconditionally.
People don't understand, they won't understand, like us
They will reject you for your status
Thats why my little one, I wrote this letter for you.

To my unborn child,
All those nights that you will spend angry at me, I have;
All those nights questioning why daddy left, I have;
All those attempts to die, I have;
But you my child, you were born on African soil,
Strong like your ancestors,
named after a warrior, you will fight,
till death.
