Family First

Knowledge Inspires New Greatness

One new born child

Is a gift to this earth

There is no price tag

Or person who could ever determine their worth

One life can change a million

Young mother; never doubt your power

The blessings of your love

Rain even after the baby shower

Never get too consumed

On providing material

Your true love and care

Is your family's most precious miracle

Over time

Financial setbacks may occur

But the only thing that matters

Is that you're there for him or her

View a strong attitude

As a heart of strong passion

Because inside a child

Its really bottled compassion

Rather they're overweight, underweight

Disabled or born with a mate

Look them in their eyes

Even if yall cry; and let them know they're great

That determination

Can enlighten their situation

Even a illiterate mind

Has a strong imagination

A "different" mind

Can change a nation

And a heart of faith

Can frighten satan

Never give up

Never give in

You're blessed to be a blessing

Never forget who you are within

Use the words "you can"

To help your boy become a man

Tell your baby girl she's beautiful

With or without a boyfriend

Your son is a prince

And your daughter is a princess

God is their king

You're a beautiful queen; they will be the best

There may be times that they're feeling hurt

And events when you'll have to work

But its the small things that matters most

Have movie nights, let them skip dinner and eat dessert

As simple as it seems

Those moments mean everything

One day they will know

You did it  just so they can have a dream

Teach them about loyalty

Royalty, respect and love

Teach them how to pray

To the man up above

Always keep in mind

That the sky is the limit

Its a long road and a constant battle

But I promise that we can win it

Stay strong: young queen just hold on

Know that  you're  never alone

This is more than just a poem

This is a poetic hug; all night long

I hope you feel special

And that your blessing does too

Because no matter what

You and your angel  are truly beautiful

For rich or for poor

For better or worse

Through sickness and in health

Family comes first

...I love you.
