Letter To My Son Poem by Tinashe Mupedzapasi

I have tried to live my life one step at a time
Sometime I tried a leap and broke my ankle
Now I am down to earth on my knees

life is tough but we have to live son
life is tough but we have to smile
All being dark, you are all that matters son

Grow in light and mind your steps
Lean to your mother and she will protect you
Pray always and God will guide you

Make some friends and have moments to remember
Never regret mistakes of your youth, son
For when you are old, there will be much to repent

Strengthen your heart and beware of love son
It can blind you and drag you to the pits

Think with your mind, a heart is for feeling
Listen to your heart and you will always be at peace

Choose your path wisely and walk it with humility
Be on your knees before God always son
Pray to God and you will have a life.
