She’s Your Child, She’s A Star
Yh! You tripped and fell
Everyone makes a mistake
Some put great things at stake
Others never get well
To you it’s your worst occurrence
Others pray for just this ‘one’
You never wished this nonsense
But the rain didn’t follow the sun
Because of your thin exposure
You met without wisdom and tripped
All that was traded was your composure
Just one night, all of his were achieved
While your Eve’s mouth tasted
And your Adam’s eye opened
The doctor’s confirmed
Your belly housed our ball
The streets made you sad
Tears rolled always from your young soul
In pains, you endured
In laughter, you over looked
In greetings, you pretended
In patience, you invested
In labor, you triumphed
Your hands could tell her size
Your back could tell her weight
Your breast cured her hunger
Your ear could match her cry
Because she’s your blood…your child
She’s all you have and all you need
Don’t shy to call her your daughter
And ‘mummy’ in her mouth won’t stagger
Lover her like she’s your whole life
And Mr. Right would take her like a wife
Tell her that she would be great
All she needs is ‘hard work’ and ‘faith’
Teach her the wonders in books
And the mystery in good looks
Teach her how to hide her tears
And battle her greatest fears
Teach her to be respectful
Because that’s what would make her joyful
Make her know life’s a test
Tell her everything needs her best
She should pursue being the first
And learn not to follow the rest
Always sing to her a new song
Yet never overlook her wrong
No matter how long…
Even the sun would know
That she’s a star
She’s your child
She’s a star
I’ve been writing this for days now. This came up partially as a birthday gift to YEMILO {whose mum is a teenage mother}, and partially also because of the high rate of teenage mothers who didn’t get married but have children; who are mothers but no husband around. This is my heart desire for you that you come to realize that he/she is your child, and a star. Tell me your thoughts y’all via comment. I’m anticipating!
Much love.
Ayo!
