Love and Lessons

are all Blessing

Some you may teach

Some you may preach

Some people look at it in a different way

But why should you care what they say

For instance being in this cell is a lesson

And having love while being here is a blessing.

When time gets hard a lot of people say

they’ll be there.

But while I’m here family is all that’s there.

Growing up family is all I had

Being another young black male without a dad.

Wondering why my father wasn’t there

Was it that I wasn’t good enough

or was it he didn’t care.

If it wasn’t for my mom, who knows

where I would be

But I really appreciate her for

taking the role as he and she.
