How I was raised,
When asked,
Is reflected back on
Like a sketch of intricate well-read plays,
Of complex displays of
How my mother installed this man in to a system
That even with all your experience,
Needed is a moment to understand
What you only took in and understood yesterday.
But it’s this
Very same system has brought me in front of you.
And my mind is consumed with thoughts now of your
Initial notion of me.
And within these few minutes of meeting you,
I find myself
Trying to understand the history of events on
Why there would never be anyone in your eyes that
Will be good enough for you.
How
No one will be able to mount the required respect for your view,
Allowing you to
Release this tense grip of these delving questions.
The inquisitive questions,
I know I answered in all honesty
As felt that this was the only way of showing you
That all I can show is the truth.
And tonight has given me this opportunity
Which I have been able to show this all to you,
And it has taken all evening but the truth you now see…
But a triumph found only after a few moments of conversation?
Surely this is too easy!
Because during her mental preparation with me
Told me to simply be... “Cool”
But linked that with another line
That they felt it was necessary at the time to include
That “The walls of Jericho or more likely to fall…”
So please understand my expressions of being sceptical.
What I’m trying to say is…
My conduct will always articulate louder than my words.
And rather than me applying layers of feelings
Accompanied by a hand full of supporting verbs –
Which comes now effortlessly to me,
As my books pay handsomely for my words to affect the world as they read –
I want the
Smiles seen from your daughter,
Exposing her new found belief in man,
After discovering this man,
And each one of the verses she is heard to have expressed
On what me being in hear life now means to she,
Add up and
All is testimony to every doubting question you will ever have for me.
And if after looking at your only child
Your not filled with the confidence that
My hand,
Mind and heart
Will not be strong enough to take lead,
Ill simply leave.
But with the risk on what I know that will do,
Base my confidence that my intentions
Towards your exquisite daughter to be constantly true.
