To my unborn son,
You will be the heart breaker
everyone warns their daughters about.
Not because you are insensitive
but because you have heart wide enough to love an ocean
but a mind wise enough to know the difference between a chapter
and forever.
When you leave them,
they will curse their own name
place their forehead to your footprint
Cry each one to mud and sculpt Pinnacles in your name.
Their friends will tell you they didn’t deserve you,
they will know this isn’t try.
You will be the type of boy that will teach them everything perfect was not meant for them
You will be the greatest lesson of their youth
And they will hate you,
until they learn to love themselves.
You will teach them,
that anything that truly helps you
isn’t going to have to break you.
It goes without saying but you will respect women.
It will hurt me to do so but I will diligently treat you to value
their lives above your own,
but because this world will convince you they are below you
and my teachings will be the only way to balance tings into equality.
You WILL be a mama’s boy
and carry no shame with that title.
That you will treat every woman you meet with the gentle, love, respect and honor you treat me,
you will treat every woman like they are me
and if they do not act like me,
you will treat them like they do until they have no choice but to rise to your standards.
You will build the women in your community to rise for their nation.
To my unborn son,
you will the man that the woman of your dreams has lost all faith it.
You will spend years gaining her trust, removing bullets and nursing the wounds this world inflicted on her while she was without you,
you will kiss each scar and divot regretful that you were not there to protect her.
She will grimace at your healing touch,
afraid becoming reliant on it’s power,
afraid of wanting you around which she was taught never to do,
you will,
once again,
teach a woman that what will heal her,
will have to break her first.
When you make love,
you will do it with the true definition,
the one this world has long forgotten,
the one buried with sphinx’s nose
you will know every part of her before you begin to know that side
and you will do so with deliberance.
To my unborn son,
you will be the man other boys
tell girls does not exist.
Those boys will envy you
But you will be to far above there level to notice
