I have love you
since the breath of life
even in the roughest wind
of times, my fragile child:
so many times, even
when the sun sleeps
even when the stars
comes out at night:

I love you, so many times,
even when the tears fall
even when the tears subsides:
even when your heart breaks
for the wrongs, I am setting right:
that I wonder, does your heart,
tell truth or does your heart
listen to the depths of lies:

I love you, in your dreams
when the dreams seems 
like a miracle, 
a wonderful surprise:
even when you soar far away
even when you are nearby:

even when the dreams, 
seems lonely
when the dreams 
seems unkind:
and when you open your eyes
seeing the glorious sunlight:
I know that you have, 
met love
like the sun 
and the moon combine:
More than you have ever, 
known love, 
that was truly so kind:
I love you; I  love you ; 
I love you, my dearest child:
Over, and over again, 
beyond the distant, 
beyond the miles:
for you are surely, 
being taught 
to respect the day 
and respect the night:
as lonely as it feels, 
most of the time:
remember true love is kind
true love forgives, 
all the time:
remember, the meaning 
of humility,
that you are being taught, 
at any age, at any time: 
that you are amongst, 
the brilliance,
the truly, I am, 
the splendid wise!

About the author

empressjournee

I am a graduate of Medgar Evers College (M.E.C.); mother of three, grandmother and great grand. I love to read great books and listen to podcasts that uplift my consciousness; sharing historical view of the different shades of color, the various culture, the way we all are connected, the musical genius throughout the world and the works that are done to help us tap into ourselves and know that we are worthy. I also love to write poetry and sing. There was a moment that now phase in another aspiration of my life, I felt singing was a forum—a path to take, that helps to voice, express my thoughts, in time where I was struggling, battling something I did not understand and what I was going through; feeling unsupportive. Although, there was some support, especially from my love ones, the challenges I faced was mostly internal.
I am so grateful for the grace I have been given to be able to write my poetic thoughts, that is my freedom. I was a part of a journey that taught me lessons and motivate me that preparation is a must to face a world that may not be ready for a new rising star. Thank you for taking the time to read my poetry. I especially wanted to give honor to my mother who is no longer in the physical, as well as my natural father for the knowledge of health before he departed from this planet. Also, I would like to thank you my supporter for being on this journey with me even at times when the journey seems unclear. May we appreciate the blessings that has been given to us, as we continue to soar, as we reach a place of true jubilee.
