Dear Lyric

Dear Lyric , 

Your name alone is music to my ears/

Mama loves you more than you will ever know/

Your to young to reliaze but mama is fighting depression/ 

You and your brother are my greatest weapon/

So precious and innocent 

Angel like skin , big brown eyes, enough personality for the both of us/

Watching you grow scares me 

I am a gardener/

I planted the seed and God gave me you/

Sweet precious you/ 

Now it's my job to shower you with knowledge and make sure you get enough sunlight so that you can blossom into something great/

But how can I teach you when no one stopped to smell the roses nobody bothered to water me./

Like a petal less rose/

He loves me/

He loves me not/

Me and daddy argue a lot it's hard to to explain when your in so deep/

emotions stuck on repeat/

I figured if I tell you what not to do, your pure mind will keep you in line/

You will be great/

Though your mother a passive aggressive used young mother of two who can't face her past because she scared and to weak to fight/

Empty inside/ 

Even though your mother was a how searching for affection only to end up undressed/

None of that matters /

You will be great/ 

Dear Lyric your two year old brain might find it strange that mama makes you look at your reflection and tell your self /

" I am a black queen"/

You are two year old black queen/ 

There is no secret you are a phenomenal woman in the making/

No I don't trust the world full of fatherless son to raise up the man who will worship her/

It will be me drilling it into you to not accept nothing less/

You will be taught all men have a motive/ 

They'll complain I'm raising another bitter black woman/

But I be damn if I raise a needy man seeking girl./

You will not be naive /

You will not be me/

You will stand tall and be proud of your skin/ 

You will walk with a confident stride /

Knowing the power you hold and not the power in between your hips/ 

But the power in your mind/

You will not use love to fill emptiness/

You will not be me/

Lyric Michelle Rose Washington you will be great/

The woman needs to be submissive /

Dear Lyric

That will not be you/

You will worship one God zeros Man/

You will walk with your head up high/

You will work hard not depending on anyone/

You hand will never ask for something/

You will be great /

Harriet Tubman you will lead/

Rosa parks you will proudly say no/

Michelle Obama you will hold your own/

Beyoncé knowles you might just be a black bill gates in the making/

Dear lyric / 

Life won't be a cup of tea /

But momma will always be here /

Watering you so can blossom into something great
