Atinzwa

He heard my prayer,
Looking at you,
I know he heard my prayer.
I have never met you
but I know.

We are years apart,
but i can feel the love I have for you already.
I hope you have my smile and my smiling eyes.
I hope you have my skin tone, be proud of it, Kings and Queens have had it too.

I hope I am a good mum.
I hope when you have scabs and sores i kiss them better.
I hope you look up at me and I give you inspiration.
Inspiration to be a better person and to change the world.

Have I taught you how to pray? I surely hope I have, It is the best form of communication there is.

Am i unbearable sometimes? I am sorry, I am learning too.
Whatever mistakes I have made in my life, they have been made right in you.
I have already named you, your name is Atinzwa, because I know he has heard my prayer.

I hope I am seeing you grow,
If I am no longer around,
this is a re-affirmation of my love for you.
