I believed in you before
you were born so don't ever say you mean nothing to me.
I took care of your mother;
I mean it when I say so just believe in me too.
She was unmistakably
fine with you but just as I grew her, I natured you too.
I breastfed you with my
empty breast, you must have not seen the difference.
You are mine, so I'm not
surprised why you look and behave like me indeed.
Your mother slept when
you were sick but I couldn't since I knew you so much.
Speaking of her, she
could not sit back watch you suffering, not even once.
She could not eat before
you, when it wasn't enough, she could let you have it all.
As an illiterate, I
didn't want you to be the same because you showed up me your
capability.
You are mine so I know
you grandson, never doubt in that which you are nearly to be.
Not even when it's
rough, never fail to come back to me because I know you.
Dear let the nature
decide or else, I'll be here for you and your grandchildren too.
Having you is what still
keeps me alive, let no circumstances affect you.
Have choices that will
make you see a generation after your children by making
good decisions.
Grandparents are always
a backup to parents' duty in life.
Say no to that which you
sense no safety in, but instead steal your faith.
I could have gone if not
your presence and joy with mercy attached.
Don't think of life like
a movie because if I did, I could have had you in a bin which
is not
right.
Remember your mother who
could have been here performing for you.
People go but memories
remain for a purpose of reflecting they are or were.
At her early age, your
mother was just as smart as you are, I can't imagine how
she could have been now.
Working day and night to
feed three of you is what she did and still could have
been doing.
Seeing you accelerate to
that man you aspire to be seems to her been her dream
for you.
If not you; who else can
remind me of her presence in the world?
.
May her soul rest in internal
peace.
