Who is growing the tomorrow
Tomorrow is for whom
What book is in the babies faces momma
While you’re facebooking
Who is in their space while you’re all in herspace

daddy

Giving them Hi5s while you wine and dine
A half a world away
Your future is here now, today
While someone else Bebos and Tumbles
Their minds
Why…

why?
Spend some time
Raising our suns
Filling our moons ‘til full
Socialize with your sons, knowledge
Give valor to your daughters, wisdom
Jesus saves
But you too have a responsibility
Love the children

beloveds
