When a man wakes in the a.m. of becoming motherless.
When his father is no longer around in form of the flesh.
When next morning rising is upon his face n places weight on his shoulders.
All he'll be able to remember is the promise that he told her.
Living under the suns days to meet some day, one day again.
Making worth in presence standing as a real man.
Mamas boy n daddies buddy finally forced to be all grown up.
Only if he knew this is what it took to become such.
When the guidance is gone is when he learns the most.
So much is understood in moments to come after the falling of a rose.
Left to fend for family in a way he thought he was already.
Taking old ways into consideration with modern times keeping steady.
Finding a new found luv n respect that justifies the hearts luv.
Sharing wisdom instilled within him that's felt in a hug.
Singing rock-a-bye baby til the end of time passing the torch.
Hoping he can fill the shoes passed down rocking on the porch.
