Letter To My Future Daughter
Daughter, drink from the waters of renewal
Realize your true potential as mother earth
Life springs from you,
Trials and tribulations of life you ride like your monthly cycle
Daughter, you are light
No matter how dark your complexion
Galaxies and civilizations rest on the apple of your cheeks
Your intellect and knowledge of self make the smartest of men weak
Daughter, as you swim in my womb you bring me joy
You'll be spoiled, surrounded by stories of migration from the land of milk and honey to that of thorns and thistles
How with a little effort and generations we were able to transform it into a Garden better than the one that held Adam &Even
Daughter, the world is a cold place but the appearance of your face will make it that much warmer
Your very existence a gift from TheGreatOne
A perfect gift that I could never have won
Daughter, you were conceived of the purest of Black love, shaped in every shade of melanin and African magic
Cocooned in midwives tells of easy births and ivory bones from the most skilled witch doctor
Daughter, you are wanted and worthy of everything your heart desires
You, the physical representation of our people
An essential piece of my being
❤❤❤❤❤❤
