Brother King

Finally you have become a man. God fearing, husband, brother, friend, father and head of your household. Here you stand strong in your rightful place as King to this time and place. So profound are your footsteps for what you shall leave behind will be purposeful and timeless. Black man, you have to know how needed you have been. You had to be overwhelmed at the destruction of your lineage. You had to wonder when the insanity of self committed violence against your kind would cease. You had to wonder where the fathers were all those years. You had to wonder who would protect our daughters. You are now a nation of Kings for which moves throughout the land. Your reign shall last an eternity and become the fabric of our being. I'm so glad you picked up this mantle and are carrying it well. It must be settling to know that our brothers and sisters that have been lost over the years did not perish in vain. For every black male that hope was lost on and he in it, we now have you. For every black woman that looked for love in all the wrong things and places, we now say, no more. Teacher, provider, protector, leader, giver and knight in shining armor are you! So nice to have you at the dinner table. So nice to have you helping with homework. So nice to see you in the stands at the games. So nice to see you walk her down the aisle. Do you know what it means to have you in your rightful place? I know you've faced many remonstrance in order to arrive at this place and my heart weeps of your past but I am thankful that you pressed on. My King, my friend, my brother thank you! You had to wonder whether or not we would put down the weed, alcohol, guns, crack, abuse, joblessness, babies all over the place with different women, homelessness, jail, no education and the self given name that represents weak (nigger). You had to wonder when someone would stand up and say STOP! Did you know it would be you? Did you know that you had the power to stop our daughters, sons, brothers and sisters from such demise? Did you know that all you'd have to do is step in place? Heck did you even know you had a place? How did you make it through all those obstacles? It had to be God! He had to keep you safe. He knew we needed you. He knew the power in you. He protected you from so much. Even when you did face challenges, He guided you through them. My King I am so glad that you are home...Here in your rightful place! Welcome home BROTHER!
