-A single Mother

I want to do right by you
 nurture every bit of light that shines in you I want to be everything I never had to you
Show you things I could've seen but never really got the chance to,
Cause I had to make decisions that ill make sure you never have to if its up to me.
I want you to know, if nobody else mommy has you,
 and you have me.
And I'm proud if that too
even if it ends up just me and you.
Even if its because of you that I was reborn, even if its because of you that I reformed.
It's because of you my heart sings a song, and its because of you I calculate actions and found inner peace, I slay the demons in me, learn to move on and forgive the people that transgressed against me in the past.
And I'm thankful for that,
you saved me, and I praise you for that who knew my saving grace would be mommy's baby?
And your daddy loves you too., even though he crazy
Trust me he does, even though we can't get shit right you are the reflection of unity and what once was love.
Believe that.
Its just unfortunate that stubbornness resides in both of us so you ain't get a chance to see that.
I wonder if the levels in you from the result of us will be off the wall for that reason, sometimes I pray not at all for that reason.
Only God can save us for that reason.
Your little laugh excites me, and your smile sheds light upon everything that was once dark inside me.
Bring light right out me,
that others around my whole life didn't bother to find in me.
I promise to be the woman I have to be to make sure you can always count on me.
 if no one else.
I pray you never have nightmares, but DREAMS of obtaining heights that Mommy herself couldn't reach,
Because I know you and all the things that you offer that the world needs to see my little seed.
Knowing you're the epitome of me is my peace.
At night it helps me sleep, gives me relief, to know you come from Holy blood despite controversy.
I know you can face every adversity that comes upon you if it would,
a bastard child with the heart of a flower and mind of a wolf,
 you can make them eat their words no child of mine will EVER be less than ALL that is good.
I'm in love with you.
In fact I didn't think it was possible until the second I laid eyes on you that I would literally die for you.
Lay it all on the line for you,
alternate space just to buy a little more time with you.
I promise you're worthy.
I promise you'll grow to forgive that I'm not perfect,
 knowing I do what I think is best for you because you deserve it.
I want you to say the things black girls can't say, and play the sports they say girls can't play, just play it smarter,
And when they bank on your failure Fuck em work harder.
Break boundaries they ain't know existed,
And set the bar when they set a limit.
Be strong and be poise, stand by men not chase boys.
And I want them to do right by you.
And I want to nurture every bit of light that resides in you.
I want to be everything I never had to you, show you things I couldnt see that I never had the chance to,
 Cause I had to make decisions that you'll never have to
if its up to me.
I want you to know if nobody else mommy's got you,
 and you have me. my only daughter. This ones for you
