Unborn Love Letter (Tribute for MLK Day 1/18/16)

When I feel you move inside of me, teardrops dance in my eyes. Then I think of all that you are, and truly begin to cry. You are the best thing I've done, yet I weep for you my son. Not for how you'll look, but for what they'll try to do. You will be brave and strong, DO NOT LET THEM DEFEAT YOU! They'll beat you, rob you, kill YOUR young sons. They're afraid and silently envious, of what you'll become. I weep for everything that is you, which is all that I am. Son, I weep for you.. because you're a black man.
