'To My Unborn Seed'
© Raul Cortes Jr. 5-9-19
To my unborn seed, whether from me or if I must adopt you..
Son or daughter, either way I got you.
First off, one of your most greatest achievements will be to appreciate life.
I spent my time breaking generational-curses, manipulation, abuse & strife.
I want to ask you about your occupation, important when you arrive.
And as I guide you along with your mom (my wife), I'll ask you time after time.
I'm confident in how we'll raise you, we won't become Russian spies.
We'll own up to all our mistakes instead of gaslighting & shooting you with lies.
If you tell me where you're going, I will trust you.
I won't pass by the location, to see if I can take your word for it, & will transport you there if I must do.
You didn't fall far from the tree, I respect what you feel is sacred.
If you deactivate your social media account, I won't reactivate it.
I already know you'll become a great success.
So whatever you decide to become, we will accept.
I won't let religious or cultural customs affect who you date.
Follow your heart, especially as an adult, write your own fate.
Whatever profession you decide, I'll support & raise the stakes.
Don't want you to become a corporate slave, find your calling before it's too late.
I will always be your resource, for as long as I live.
It doesn't matter how long we've gone without talking, I want you to live.
But don't feel as if, for whatever reason, you must distance yourself, you can come to me.
This is my attempt to reverse things done to me.
We as parents, hope we've laid the proper example, showing you that we adore you.
We'll always love you, as earthen vessels & heavenly beings, we'll be here for you.
