Mother to Son
BY LANGSTON HUGHES
Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now—
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
Lauren and Vanessa are to very strong women who had men that were loved by the cites and who’s legacy will outlive all of us. They were both men who loved their cities and was doing all they could to build it up.
They loved their fans and gave their heart and souls to them. They did a lot for the community and left a blueprint for others to follow. Nipsey and Kobe did not get to reach their full potential for healing the world.
God only knows why the Good die young!!!!
