Legacies, Blue Prints, Footprints

Let me take a moment to celebrate you

My lifeline

You keep me grounded in this life time

When I see them

I take notice of you

The lessons you share

Our little blessing are aware

When I see them I appreciate you

They walk like you

Talk like you

It’s something I knew they’d do

My muse

A reminder of my family is you

So familiar

I see your ancestors

So particular

Knowing just the right moment to share a memory

A photo of the love you have for your family 

Raising our princes

Doing it honorably

Lets celebrate you and everyone like

I understand your strife

I am here for the celebration

You my love are God’s creation

He broke the mold

Constantly thinking about when we  grow old

Bold with audacity of hope for parts of our stories that are untold

I celebrate my left hand

Tatted on the knuckle

At times I chuckle

Obsessing over how you exceed expectations

You’re a lover of the Kobe System

Suggestions of lowering the bar tempt your patience

You’ve blown my imagination

When you acquired the label father

You haven’t taken it lightly

Blemishes surround that title but you dusted it off slightly

Stepped into the role with a vest on your chest

Slayer of perpetual perfection

Apple of our eye

Leading lovingly with correction

Confidently leading us in a direction

Joy, is that you playa?

Back again with my best friend?

Someone I willingly defend

Stand tall today my love you earned it

Don’t ever misunderstand brother

By your side not only as your lover

Here, confidently I stand

I watch silently when you grab our princes’ hand

The small gestures

The hero looks

The smiles they wear when you read them a book

I see you brother

We see you

Wake up grind

4 a.m. grind

Get to the coffee grinds

Baby we see you

Every time you chase a monster away

I see the looks on their face at night

Showing up daily despite life’s plight

My love we see you

And we thank you always

Happy Father’s Day
