My Inner Child Cries Out In This Man
I was four years old with a non existent dream
Just a lonely kid, tryna fit in
And in. between the times when I'm showing up at school
I was with my friends, and I'm acting like a fool. My mama taught me better than that a single mother making ends meet putting food on the table with the little money she had. I was teen-age lad trying to step up by
Dropping by to see if there was anything that I could do to help her also with showing my thanks and regards for love and effort she given us in years of struggle's. Unconditionally love was main reason she was my hero. But my duties calls
Whether that be taking out the rubbish or trying cook her something without burning kitchen down.
it's never safe to say I discovered that cooking is best stay with older adults this time around. Left tea towel on stove wow that's close call lucky I did not catch on fire living life on the wire. if things got outer hand it would left a bitter taste of lemon juice sours.

Used to be a time, wishing it was different
Found it difficult, had to walk the distance, my step dad and uncle died last year. only month between it was heartache I cannot force my memory to forget or leave. I
Know you're gone, miss your kitchen chats and father and son guidelines of love fixes. God Bless Dad and thank you always for making me feel I always had a dad.
