A Letter Poem by Sefofane Shabalala

This is a letter, through me I can
Envisage the life I never had that you
Could live, they say ''this life is a test'' but
Peep this, my test isn't what I hope for you to go through.

This is a letter from me to you, for you to
Understand living in this world isn't like
Crawling or learning to walk, it's a jungle out here but only your intellectual mind will help you to use that hindrance as a tool to become victor,
By victor I mean prosperous.

This is a letter, a letter to my legacy, understand this,
We were born from mothers who couldn't deal with us and fathers who couldn't built with us,
But through my struggle i'm willing to become the man you'll forever praise to say father to,
This is a letter to my unborn child...
