This week I was going to go in on people parenting skills, I have written the whole article and everything. However I was in my car the other day after uploading new music to my iPhone, I put on 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' everyone knows that's an album and put on 'To Zion', whilst listening I began to cry, because I felt every word of the song, And any mother will agree and understand.
As I cried thinking about the "joy of my world" I no longer wanted to post my piece on the failers on my generation of perants, but share with you guy this feeling that Lauryn was trying to explain, and remind us all of "the joy" of any perants world and we need to do everything in our power to show our children just this.
"Unsure of what the balance held,I touched my belly overwhelmed" .
I remember this moment like it was yesterday, scared, uncertain, definitely overwhelmed. I remember the first moment knowing I was pregnant, thinking no way I'm I keeping it, that would be crazy.
"I knew his life deserved a chance, But everybody told me to be smart"
conflicted between my heart, my mind and other peoples opinions. Everyone from my mother to my best friend told be abortion was what needed to be done, but in my heart I knew she was the choosen one. Now I could quote you line by line because I can identify with this song that much, and the second verse is just power:
"And I thank you for choosing me
To come through unto life to be
A beautiful reflection of his grace
For I know that a gift so great
Is only one God could create
And I'm reminded every time I see your face"
This is the point I really want to drive home, please people do not forget your child is a gift, and Im glad I decided to follow my heart because my angle is the light of my life, I need her as much as she needs me. And I know every parent must feel the same. However not all show this and this love gets mixed in with the stress and craziness of this western society we all reside in. No one is perfect, but that life is in your hands....... Be greatful for the "joy of your world", when there are people out there that will never experience what you have ...... To be continued Mrs Capone
