Letter To My Son

Should I breathe my last
Please send for my son 
Tell him papa loves him so much
Remind him that it’s love that did keep him away from me
Her treacherous mother caused a lift between us
But the rift grew when she embraced lust instead of love
Sing him a song of victory and tell him of daddy’s blessings in his life 
1000 times fold over your enemies may you conquer 
Lead a life filled with Godliness and humility 
Show love to all especially your enemies 
Today as I write this my ink of choice 
Is tears of sadness and those of love
Sadness for can’t embrace you in my arms as I used to
Happiness for love between us cannot be broken by distance or authority 
Yes the rift is real for I can’t fill it right now
But when you are old enough you will understand my message 
Life is a real gift to us all
But the real gem in life is those that we hold dear to us
Son do not lead your evil and cold hearted ways of your mother’s family 
They hide in the church and lead a prayerful life
But they are snakes that’s awaiting to strike the innocent 
Neither observe my family's failure and say it’s in the blood 
For in you the Almighty God reigns in you
Follow this words I write in the middle of the night and you shall be great 
Bless those who curse you
Bless those who bless you 
And finally 
Announce your battles to God in prayer
Never engage in physical fight but fight on your knees 
People will see a looser but God never loses a battle 
Soon your mom will fail in her life for she engaged in physical rather spiritual battle 
I pray that this time I will only hear of her failure 
For am not ready to fight her battles of foolishness again 
She’s will say more nasty things against me
But remember it’s love that gave us you ad our gift from God 
God has been my strongest pillar and strength 
Make Him everything you want and you shall never fall
And if you do fall remember God’s will is your portion always 
Son one day we shall meet i
