"To My Son"
  by 22dcentpoet


Most of the readers of my works already know I have two wonderful strong black men as my sons. What many of you don't realize is that my youngest is at the time incarcerated (locked up). I am the Mother that has been their every Saturday for visitation, put money in the commissary and prayed for him to be home in June. I have seen him in gangs, fightings and nursed him when he was jumped into the gang lifestyle. This is why I Preach about Violence and Child Support....... Without further ado here is the latest poem I just sent him to remind him "A Mother's Love Will Never Die" My sn was killed July17 because he Choose as a Man and a Father to walk away from a senseless cowards. I am devastated, dying and hurting right now.... So For You Kenny Here Is my Love


To My Son

I remember your first word the smile on your face, your perfect grin
How even in preschool I never wanted you to loose. You always had to win!
I remember the three pointers you made in a game of basketball
How even in a game of checkers or chess you give it your all

Sometimes in life we all make mistakes or take the wrong road
I don’t blame you my son. You are carrying a heavy load
Sometimes you take a path others choose not to travel
This brings pain to your heart. You think your life may unravel

But Never give up hope as long as your heart keeps pumping
Over the mountains and hills you just have to keep on jumping
Keep your head to the sky, your back to the wall
Even when you think you may stumble and fall

Remember A Mother’s love is never forsaken
Even when the wrong road is taken
I will always love you and put you first in my life
Even when you grow older and take yourself a wife.

This poem is my dedication to you My Son, you are loved by many
Especially by ‘Ma’.
I Love you Kenny

thus poem really brought tears to my eyes and it speaks out to me on a mother's endurance and devotion I think of different roads that i fear my kids may travel but to loose a kid i don't understand but this poem touch my heart and I say keep writing to let feel a little specialness about him and remeber to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord
