For Matayo

As I sit and think about what are the right words to say,

I realize my words may fail so I’ll leave those for a rainy day.

When I first met him he oozed with confidence.

The type of guy that will make you drop everything and just walk with him.

Even then I knew that this iceberg wasn’t at all fully exposed.

There was something more that the untrained eye could not expose.

Never the less, he was a guy I enjoyed being around.

His vast knowledge of the world was what the doctor ordered for this little island girl.

With a charm like Kennedy and wit like Ali,

He is bound for greatness y’all just wait and see.

My guy got brains like whoa.

But I heard on shout he does not believe it though.

Who has he been listening to?

Who has told him these devious lies?

The future world leader has now gone into hiding, will someone please tell me why?

I have a message for him please see to it that he gets it.

This is life and death business; the fate of nations depends on it.

Tell him,

Your worth is not derived by what you can or can’t do.

It is not derived even by what your loved ones think of you.

When you need to know how to work the new TV remote to whom do you turn?

Creation can only find its meaning from the creator,

So listen close my friend,

Hear so you can learn.

You my dear are very special, open your heart and see.

Some things we will never behold by the regular human eye.

Some things can only be understood by looking on high.

An eagle among chickens will never know his true potential.

It’s like a king leaving the palace to live residential.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made and never forget it.

When you do, come see your girl and she’ll re-enforce it.

The plans he has for you no man can contest it.

I can only tell you what I know so check it.

I know that you are more than you think.

I know that God loves you and wants you to succeed.

I know that you are frustrated and just want things to work out.

But don’t put your trust in man or even yourself.

Trust in God.

I don’t know what you believe or even if you believe.

I know that your heart is filled with love even though to you it is misconceived.

My goal for writing you is not to preach.

My goal is for you to see in you, what I see.

Matayo, I may wake up tomorrow hating you as this is the frailty of human fondness.

But the Heavenly Father will never give up on you and I can put my life on this.

Sorry, I didn’t rhyme all the way through.

I am bit overwhelmed so next time I will try harder to.

Anyways I hope you got the spirit that this message was written in.

It’s ok to have bad days but fight never to forget who you are within.

Life is a ballroom and we are all destined to dance our special song.

Every stride is a step closer to that which our souls long for.

When the music stops just trust the deejay.

He has just the right song for you coming up to play.

When you don’t know the right moves trust the beat of your heart.

It is God on the drums so you know you’re playing your part.

God believes in you, I believe in you, and all that is needed is for you to believe in you;

and know you have already won.
