WHAT IF?
What if
That drink, that smoke or whatever your vice of choice is holding you back from reaching your goals, destination, and full potential?
What if
The things you think you have a handle on are actually mishandling you?
What if
The things and inanimate dreams that hijack your time are keeping you from being that righteous force to reckon with?
What if
Your games and entertainments are stifling the excellence that God deliberately planted deep within your DNA?
What if
The steps you take today are forging the path on which your son will travel?
What if
He continues along the course you tread? Will his steps in your footprints invoke your satisfaction and make you proud?
What if
He comes behind your name and benefits from the respect your name has already gained?
What if
The way you run your race affects the handoff as he begins his own run and sets his own pace?
What if
The baton you hand him is honorable and aptly transferred into his awaiting hand?
What if
He catches your dreams and contemplations?
What if
He runs his leg of the relay to advance your legacy and noble aspirations?
What if
the mantle you hand him is a desirable one?
What if
He accepts it with the dignity that you demonstrate and instill within him?
What if
The lyrics that so easily roll off your tongue spring from his mouth as he develops into the man that you exemplify? Will your words through his lips invoke your smile?
What if
The decisions you make are meticulously crafting your son’s world.
What if
Your beliefs and the moves you make today help him tomorrow to move in a better way?
What if
What he sees in you causes him to blow up?
In the future when he is you, will he look back and say Pops, thank you!
WHAT IF…
