conceived out of passionate love;
i kept my faith in God to receive.
maturing with time in the womb;
drew me closer to fatherhood.

black oppression was the demon;
that stalked the break of dawn.
cruel friendships embraced me;
at most when i needed love.

reflection of misery on my mirror;
painted an image of my sorrow.
life was so unjust to thee;
redemption was my only hope.

struggles of life seemed so brutal;
new day with no meaning so fatal.
lived a life thorned by mistakes;
judgement was my only weakness.

faith and belief was my motivation;
desire to succeed was my mission.
contemplating victory every second;
excited the reason to live beyond.

beauty & wonder lay beside me;
sparked the passion for love.
now today you lay silently;
her womb caring so gently.

in the midst of my days;
shall i remember the times.
her love painted a new beginning;
to life that once had no meaning.

letter to my unborn child.
