Letter to a'Zariah

Only a few months til you arrive, and change up our lives What a surprise, know everybody's thinking bout time My mama's overjoyed. I can see it in her smile You're what she's been waiting for Always seen it in her eyes Since we've been old enough to conceive She'd been having this need An itch I couldn't scratch. A gift I couldn't wrap Cause, Lord knows I'd give that woman the world But there's no way I would have a little boy or a girl Baby sister came through right on time Right when she retired She's even trying to go back to work to help provide Now you see how spoiled you already are She even love you more than she does Coco and Sparkle And Star. Those our family dogs The grand babies before you came in I can picture their jealousy when they see you replaced them But if I know them, they gonna love you hard as we do I'm trying to be cool, but I can't wait to meet you And I can't wait to teach you all the things I probably missed with my sis Give you every kiss she didn't get See as kids all we knew was outside we had to fight for her But in the house it was like war Don't get me wrong, we had fun times But us beefing was lit Ask ya mom about the story of her, ya Uncle and them grits I know we ran ya granny crazy But thankfully on some weekends she'd get a break from it That's word to our Aunt Carolyn and Dydee And ya great grannies that helped with some of our needs I hate you won't get to meet em, they were the sweetest A granny's love is just one that you can't compete with Just wait til yours is holding you and you gonna see it And you gonna feel a connection that'll be the deepest I'ma give you game, ask for what you want You'll be her weakness But if she try to put her feet down, just call auntie Nix And I'ma make it happen for you niecey Pooh This family wasn't perfect, cause we needed you And don't you ever doubt ya self with anything you do I believe in you and I'ma make sure you believing too I love you
