“LOOKING AT YOU, LOOKING BACK AT ME”
ONCE I KNEW YOU WERE COMING MY THOUGHTS WERE OH MY WHAT TO DO,
PREPARING FOR THE THIRD ADDITION TO OUR BEAUTIFUL CURRENT TWO,
KNOWING FOR SURE YOU WOULD BE A BEAUTY THERE WAS NEVER ANY DOUBT,
WHEN WE TOLD YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER MAN DID THEY SCREAM AND SHOUT,
I HOPE IT’S A BOY SO I CAN HAVE A LITTLE BROTHER, I HOPE IT’S A GIRL SO I CAN HAVE A LITTLE SISTER,
ALL WE EVER CARED ABOUT WAS YOUR IMMACULATE HEALTH AND PROVIDING THE PROPER NOURISHMENT FOR YOUR DELICATE FIGURE,
JOELLE THE NAME SAYS IT ALL – GOD IS WILLING AND TODAY WE ALL STAND TALL,
BEAUTIFUL EYES, SKIN, AND HAIR,
NOT A MOMENT GOES BY WHERE YOU DON’T CATCH A STARE,
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BABY! MY GOODNESS HAPPINESS IS ALL THRU YOU,
ENSURING THAT GOOD EXAMPLES ARE SET, SHOWN, AND GIVEN TO YOU,
ALIYAH – TO ASCEND AND GROW WAY BEYOND THE SKY,
PRAYERS OFTEN SENT UP TO THE LORD FROM YOUR MOTHER, OLDER BROTHER, SISTER, AND I,
AND WHEN I COME HOME AT NIGHT, AND SEE YOUR HANDS AND FEET PRESSED AGAINST THE KITCHEN FLOOR,
LOOKING AT YOU, LOOKING BACK AT ME YOU SMILE AS YOU BRING ME TO MY KNEES FEELING BLESSED TO THE CORE,
WHAT A FEELING TO HAVE KIDS, YET AT TIMES I WONDER AND AM EVER SO WORRIED,
SEEING YOU ALL WATCHING ME WHILE I AM WATCHING YOU GROW MUCH TOO FAST AND IN A HURRY,
UP AT NIGHT AT TIMES I CANNOT SLEEP,
RESTLESS WONDERING ABOUT WHAT THIS COLD WORLD MAY BRING AND WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE YOU MAY MEET,
PRAYING AND PRAYING THAT YOU ALL CHOOSE THE RIGHT PATH,
WHILE YOUR MOTHER AND I CONSTANTLY STAY ON YOU ALL TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT THINGS AND BE EVER SO THANKFUL FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE,
LESSONS WE HAD AND NOW PASS ON TO ALL OF YOU,
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO ASSIST IN YOUR GROWTH MY BABY GIRL ILL DO,
WITH LOVE ALWAYS WATCHING YOU LOOKING AT ME, LOOKING BACK AT YOU.
