I have three daughters and a son
And raising them has always bothered me some
Not because I can’t provide
Or give them their needs like a place to reside
No, its being a mom alone in this world
Did you hear what I said? I have three girls
My son used to scare me the most of all
Thinking he wouldn’t be a man and all
But reality hit me the other day
Its my daughters I have to make sure are okay
I have to teach them to hold their heads high
To depend on no one, especially a guy
That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t take suggestion
And know they can come to me, no question
To know people will sometimes let you down
And make sure they keep loyal friends around
It’s okay if they aren’t popular and cool
if it will jeopardize their learning and school
For them to know self respect and love
To be strong in faith for Allah whom is above
To be a totally confidant woman
And be the completion of the right man
I think I’ll be okay, don’t really know what I’m worried about
But dang if I don’t have my work cut out.
