Encouragement

Strong Black Man I only trust thee to take my hand To do with me all that you can And be a factor in my master plan When times are hard so is yo spine To feed yo family U make dollas from dimes I watch U bubble right on time Black man resourceful, blows my mind..... Always protecting what's yours what's mine Neva afraid to commit a crime Will shut yo mouth and do yo time All while maintaining peace of mind..... Not flawless in yo way of thought Mistakes you've made are lessons well taught Laced you with game that couldn't be bought Wounded yo flesh from battles well fought I know your worthy, I crown you my king For being so down for your family Now that's the stuff you don't hear about or see The contribution the black man made to me If for some reason yo esteem runs low And feelings of hopelessness sneak thru ya door and as the result frustration starts to show Embrace these few encouraging words I know I love you Daddy
