Solomon James

Don’t be like, be better than me.
My ceiling is your floor, stand taller than me.
The sky is not the limit, reach for the stars & beyond.
Actions speak louder than words, but your word is your bond.
Always remember, you only have 1 mother.
She loves you, always love her.
Treat women like you want your sister to be treated by others.
Look out for your brothers.
Love your wife as God so loved the world.
Be ready to die for that girl.
Look a man in his eyes.
Shake his hand firm, walk with pride.
Grow to be healthy, wealthy, and wise.
What you want, you can have.
Your great grandmother, we call her “Granny”, always says,
“The Lord will provide”.
Knowledge is power. Don’t take it for granted.
Trust is earned. Respect is demanded.
Only follow those that are going somewhere.
And when it’s time for you to lead, don’t move in fear!
Keep in mind that intoxicating situations, may lead to devastation.
Only God can judge you, but stay out of the courtroom,
unless you become a lawyer.
Be proud of your heritage, embrace your culture.
Travel the nations, see the world.
You reap what you sow, so sow in good ground, it comes back 10 fold.
Laugh, smile, play.
Give, forgive, pray.
Everyone’s path is different.
No one’s journey the same.
Along the way, you’ll make mistakes,
but take responsibility for your actions.
No one else is to blame.
This letter goes out to my unborn son,
Solomon James.
