Baby Steps |
Your children are not your children |
They are sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself |
They come through you but not from you |
And though they are with you, they belong not to you |
List the things I love, I couldn’t ever begin |
From the giggle when you’re happy to the smell of your skin |
Every day you surprise me with intelligent things |
Ready for blessings and lessons your development brings |
I learn more from you than you could ever learn from me |
First step, first word, first time I heard you breathe |
It’s a feeling beyond comparison |
Heartbeat sweeter than any song that I’m rapping in |
In this life I want your happiness and nothing more |
Feels like we were both born again when we cut the cord |
Our trauma from the past is a factor in your present |
But sacrifice our lives for yours, you’d have them in a second |
Not feeling this close when you smile, kiss and squeeze me |
Food for the soul, your beautiful spirit feeds me |
Made us touch our scars again, that process isn’t easy |
My life instead of yours, I would smile and give it freely |
Through your life I’ll watch you grow, but there’s one thing you must know |
You can always lean on me, you can always lean on me my son |
One day I’ll have to let you go, but you must keep within your soul |
You can always lean on me, you can always lean on me my son |
As I watched your heart beating on the scan |
I knew you’d be born into things you wouldn’t understand |
I hope I can prepare you for the pain you will withstand |
And always remember before a man inta insan (you're a human) |
We are not perfect, sometimes we’ll get it wrong |
Breaks my heart there’s things in life we just can’t protect you from |
See the difference between right and wrong, I pray that you can |
Just know it’s my heart that you take in your hand |
Every day I sit face to face with a walking miracle |
Not a cord, umbilical, connection more than physical |
Whatever the weather, the sky is sunny when you smile |
Wrote this for every parent sitting worried for their child |
Your eyes are like stars to me, voice is like heaven singing |
Being with you is like the sweetest dream I’ve ever been in |
My moon and my son, that sentence isn’t a metaphor |
You’re the beginning, middle and the end we must be better for |
Through your life I’ll watch you grow, but there’s one thing you must know |
You can always lean on me, you can always lean on me my son |
One day I’ll have to let you go, but you must keep within your soul |
You can always lean on me, you can always lean on me my son |
There might be times when you need a hug, times when you need an ear |
Times when you need some love, those times you will see me there |
There might be times when you need a hug, times when you need an ear |
Times when you need some love, those times you will see me here |
There might be times when you need a hug, times when you need an ear |
Times when you need some love, those times you will see me there |
We never knew love like this, we never knew love like this until you blessed us |
There might be times when you need a hug, times when you need an ear |
Times when you need some love, those times you will see me here |
We never knew love like this, we never knew love like this until you blessed us |
Beautiful boy |
You’re my beautiful boy |
You’re my beautiful boy |
You’re my beautiful boy |
You’re a beautiful boy |
You’re a beautiful boy |
