I'm here (short story)
A boy was born against all odds,
From the word go, he had to fight to grow,
Grow in strength,
Grow in mindset,
Grow in life experiences,
It was never easy, facing cold breezes
Though born in winter times,
Many thought he would easily survive,
But not while problems multiplied,
He needed a father, he didn't even bother,
So his mother became his father,
She was & still is, his everything
They fought back and forward,
Mother would cry most nights,
When her hustle wasn't successful each time,
She would sit him down, talk to him at age 5
Tell him things ain't right, and to her surprise,
The child would reply : "mommy don't cry, we will be just fine, God will always provide, please wipe off those teary eyes"
This was no ordinary child, she knew that too,
Told him once that his dad was a real fool,
Thinking leaving his family would make him look cool,
She made a promise to her little dude,
To find him a real father someday, that would install fatherly love in him all day, and so they got down on their knees, mother taught him how to pray it went something like this in the end, "dear God please hear our voices today,
We lost, got nobody except you,
Be our light and guide us for we lost our sight,
The future looks dark and cloudy from our side,
But we know you know better so please reach out your hand one last time, my son needs you more then I need you,
If I don't see tomorrow what will become of his story?
We all know your power and merciful glory,
We don't seek riches we seek your commitment,
Help us enjoy the life you gave to us as a gift just one last time"...
The story continues...
