Letter to my baby 1


My dear sweet young vine, God gave me grace but he gave me you l love my baby that is why l want you to know Today you are sweet you are innocent But this life has its twists and l don't want them to break my baby When you start talking to man l want us to spread love l want you to be kind and cultured you should not hurt people.respect them Each day smile at one in distress you may be their light that day So l said smile and be lovely But l want you to be firm fear not to defend what is right because the uncaring crowd will ridicule you for it never sell your integrity my child lt is the only possession you carry to the grave Dear young sweet vine In this world you have to thrive the sneers and jeers can be many you are a young woman the voices will stop you and the fears drain you But if it is the goal focus my love.let no one tell you you are too woman to be that. My litlun know God. What will you be if the one over you will not watch you my child l am yours but of often than not l will be useless then you will have to get an anchor and it is your God.
