Not a baby, not a big boy
A man
You've got amazing shoes to fill
(when you claim the title)
In your heritage are kings
holding their courts on thrones of authority
Tuskegee Airmen
Soldiers
prisoners of war, prisoners of circumstance
biding time and preparing for freedom
Educators
passing on history, knowledge, wisdom
Pastors, Deacons, Congregants
praying in faith, believing in Him
Fathers
Brothers
Uncles
cherishing family ties of blood and of love
Friends
lending shoulders, listening ears, and confidence
But for now, my little one?
play, dream, discover, enjoy
your time is coming soon enough
