PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

First of all, I would like to say thank you LJ
For allowing me to be dad, and blowing me away
With a smile so compelling for me to even stay
On a nine-to-five with racist faces and lousy pay;
Son, it aint easy to forget what they say,
Because the life I live I live for two,
Pinching pennies, rubbing nickels for finer things to give you;
Hard times, yeah, but it aint nothing that we can’t get it through,
If we put our prayer together, then we can give proof;
Millions apologies wouldn't be enough for conceiving you
In this so-called free world that is so tough,
Where brothers get did-in and sisters get sit-in scuffed;
Daddy already know it can be way too rough,
But I got your back, I promise that to the end,
Even when you’re mad, my intension is in your best interest
… not your best friend.

Dear Lord,
Let me say good-bye to my kid,
If tomorrow aint promised,
Then that’s my last wish;
Dear Lord,
Don’t let me go out like a punk,
If tomorrow aint promised,
Then that’s all I really want.
Dear Lord,
If tomorrow aint promised;
Dear Lord
If tomorrow aint promised;
Dear Lord,
If tomorrow…

Aint promised.

Son, I see you crying lots of those lonesome tears again,
Like I had been your whole life; for years, I’ve lived within
You know better than to think that this is the very end,
I made vow to you to never leave you since the beginning;
I live through your eyes, your walk, your ears and mouth
You must understand how to fight when others doubt,
That our love lives beyond this life that we can do without
Because you were my heart long before you were born
So there is no need to feel so desolate and torn;
With smiles are the only way your days should be adorned,
For I now belong to a place where I am no longer scorned;
There are no more pains, struggles, worries, or tears
Before I go, remember our love has surpassed all years,
The feelings that I have for you, it never disappears.

Dear Lord,
Let me say good-bye to my kid,
If tomorrow aint promised,
Then that’s my last wish;
Dear Lord,
Don’t let me go out like a punk,
If tomorrow aint promised,
Then that’s all I really want.
Dear Lord,
If tomorrow aint promised;
Dear Lord
If tomorrow aint promised;
Dear Lord,
If tomorrow…

Aint promised.
