A Letter To My Future Child

A LETTER TO MY FUTURE CHILD I wonder if you will ever see me, I wonder if one day you will exist, I wonder if one day you see my smile, You don't exist and might never but the least I can do is promise you that I your father loves you unborn Come and grow up in this world though I know it’ll be difficult for you This world is full of good and evil Though it’s not a good world but I admire to hold baby Come and I will hold you like my mother never held me I don't plan for your actual existence now but if that happens and you find this world I live in Don’t be diminished to let your dream fade To my future darling get this right Even if I don’t know your real face Don’t abort my child when time comes My son is so precious to my than a golden bar My kid is like engine of my car and I can’t drive with him He is the roof of my house, I can’t stay without it He is my clothes I can’t walk naked Don’t hurled my child into the pit I would love my child with everything I wouldn't want anything to ever hurt you even know I know that will never be true but the most I can do is keep you healthy and safe because this world is a twisted place which is why I never planned to bring you into this basket case I hope that society accepts you for who you are no matter your sex, orientation, gender, because you are worth so much more you are the only you that exists you are more than what society tells you you are the only one in charge of your truth don't let society tell you are you are merely handsome or pretty because these traits fade and are petty it just matters how good your soul is My future child listens to this I will wish you to be a poet like your dad Masoni I will wish you speak Good English like me I will wish you make many friends like I do I will like you to be polite like me but stand by your principles, son .
