A Mothers Sheild

Who was I to think I had all the answers

That I could fix what fate would have

One task, break a cycle generations in the making

Entitled and egotistically grasping at straws

Entering a contract only souls can make

Broken, yearning for purpose

Unseen was a path bumpy, windy, misty

Torn apart, in hopes of happy returns

Disease throughout the makeup of you, of me

The mountain to climb seemingly insurmountable

Together we fall, together we rise

I wont see it through to reckless demise

Breaking the chains of shackles forged in blood

Blood of ancestors that got lost along the way

Their Poison rapidly trails in our veins

Dropping the ego to blame, wielding the sword of faith

To battle we go, if only within our hearts

I’ll send you my shield of strength across the divide

Cracked and scared it may be but it does prevail

Reach for my gift, bestowed to me to now be yours

Fight today beside me child, let us hit our knees

At the alter of faith and goodness we will find

We will find our way through the mist

Back to one another we will come again

Our new dynamic will be unstoppable

On new ground we will see the sunrise again

Until the day we embrace once more

Look within and see the me in you

Ill take the hits, Ill take the blows-let me

Ive conquered much, and you will follow my path

To victory….in faith we fight, and in peace we will live
