Young Black Man
Young Black Man, maybe when you are born, your mother won’t be ready.
Young Black Man, although she isn’t fully prepared, she will always keep the home steady.
Young Black Man, you shouldn’t be crowned the man of the house at such a young age
Young Black Man, this will cause so much internal rage
Young Black Man, you will have built up frustrations and anger and disappointment that you will suppress.
Young Black Man, It’s okay to feel pain and not always have a mentality of, “who cares, what’s next”.
Young Black Man, the extra hours spent perfecting your craft will not go unnoticed.
Young Black Man, it will mold you into a great man and it will prepare you for every moment.
Young Black Man, when you leave far from home it will be what you need at the time.
Young Black Man, you will be afraid but you’ll soon find out that it’s your only way you’ll shine.
Young Black Man, do not worry so much about what others think
Young Black Man, be mindful of the things you do and what you speak
Young Black Man, I want to tell you that Black Women are Queens and you should treat them as such.
Young Black Man, adore them, empathize with them, nurture them and love them much
Young Black Man, i’m sorry that you will think that you know everything you need to be a great spouse
Young Black Man, you won’t know at first but experiencing the journey is what will make you the most proud
Young Black Man, the love that you will have for your wife should be unmatched by any.
Young Black Man, show her you love her, hug her and share how you truly feel, plenty.
Young Black Man, the hurt that you will suppress for so long will reveal itself and you will have to admit how much you’re in need.
Young Black Man, your past definitions of love will all change after the birth of your seed.
Young Black Man, You will always say that you want a boy
Young Black Man, your first will be a girl and when you lay eyes on her, you will be filled with so much joy.
Young Black Man, God has a purpose for your life and you will question it often
Young Black Man, Never lose faith, trust the process and never think you’re less of a man because your heart is softened.
Young Black Man, I am writing this because I’ve been there and I care
Young Black Man, the truth is, if I was your age, I wouldn’t dare
Young Black Man, I love you. Your wife will love you. Your daughter will too.
Young Black Man, always remember; in a world full of hate, focus on being the best version of you!
Sincerely,
A Young Black Man
