Missing: A Father's Story
A Father's Story
Our separation from each other has a history that is bigger than Me or your Mother.
Bigger and calculated so that you would never look to me for strength...
I knew I could have done more to fight the "Willie Lynch" method of planned separation of the Black Man from his family...
I need you to hear the tears of my words and grow from them...
Life is a series of events and things happen that we can't control or prevent sometimes...
The trials don't come with an expiration date ... You Must Be Strong!
Show them what you are made of, show them that no matter what, you will not give up, you will not be stopped because you come from Divine Stock...
Let go of the anger and let go of those emotions that unleash frustration and stress into your Powerful Mind...
Our separation has a history ... Our future together is up to us ...The missing years of my life in your life, came with a price, that I still am paying for...
Blame is all around and I accept wearing the crown as the king culprit for your lack of emotions towards me...
When you reached out, No Where to Be Found Became My New Name...
When the growing pain needed a voice, I was never your first choice...
Missed so much because I couldn't handle my own stuff...
So many men like myself are in need of releasing the reasons for Running Away, Staying Away, and not being Confident and Strong enough to be there for their children...
May these words reach their eyes and their pride.
May these words touch their hardened hearts and make them seek their children's forgiveness.
Seek their children before their health deteriorates, time deteriorates and the memories of them are buried in the mind of children and grandchildren.
Our children are our future no matter what we did in the past, may these words be a doorway to the heart of a child in search of answers, and a Father who continues to be missing in the life of their seeds.
This is a Father's Story, confession is food for the soul.
