“A Letter to My Beloved Son
As you land on this place called Earth
Many things shall be unearthed
As the sun rises, it is compelled to set
Much as you are alive
It may be for a while
But the key things you require
So, listen my child!
Honour the gift of life
Value your time
Please be wise
Opt to be the light
Even on the darkest night
Do not lose sight
Of a future so bright
Follow what is right
For things to be alright
Believe in Jesus Christ
Let Him be your guide
Pray without ceasing
Know your calling
Keep on dreaming
You must believe
That you will succeed
You are part of me
I must tell you no lies
The world can be harsh sometimes
Remember little one
To keep moving forward
You will reap great rewards
And be very proud
With love, your loving Mom”
