2017 was a bad year
Loss my best friend, wish he was still here
Tomorrow’ll be thanksgiving so I’m grateful for being here
Counting all my blessings, sometimes i can barely see them
Conversations with the priest
when i started losing my train of thought
He told me, i could do it
as long as i put my faith in God
And if i really want it,
Then i should write an open letter to God
Have a conversation and tell him everything
About how my life’s been going
Instead of searching for answers in the world
They should come from within
Cuz there’s no other one like myself
And i don’t mean that to be cocky by the way
Still open doors for my elders
That’s just how my momma raised me
Pops always reiterated that in life
You gotta listen and pay attention carefully
So I’m really sorry for the times
I did things that i said i couldn’t...
I really want you to have a piece of mind
As you live on past your fifties...
I can’t wait to see you n mom living in retirement one day,
I miss seeing a happy couple...
For all the times
you both spent on different sides
I promise you one day it’ll be worth it....
You sacrificed your marriage for your kids
So i know God has a better purpose...
I’m really talking about what i live,
Ain’t no fabrications...
I can’t put my trust in another female
Cuz that’s when they start acting crazy...
Momma i really love you
And I’m going back to school
It’s gonna take some dedication
It’s been 4 years since i graduated high school
And I’m not trying to be an average teenager...
Dropping out of school and chasing a dream that only a few believe in...
But i know I’ve got something prove
So till then no more aggravating...
I just got one request from you
Please don’t try to treat me like a lil baby...
Allow me to live and learn from my experiences
As I’m only trying to make better judgements...
Not having my dad around
Has brought out the best in you trying to raise a man solely...
We live through trials and tribulations
& I can attest that your shield’s impenetrable..
For all the times you got hurt,
somebody else was going through it...
Can’t no other woman take your place on earth, despite all the pain I’ve brought to you...
Last month marked a year anniversary since you lost your father...
A part of you, I’ve been missing ever since then..
So tomorrow before we start cooking, i wanna take you out to eat...
Have a mother and son bonding, the least gratitude i can extend to you..
Before God and man I’m forever thankful for you.
This is beautiful Tongwa. Has your mom seen it? You should show her.

You should blog more often. I post everyday.
