At first I thought t'was only infatuation...
But now drifted---a growing fascination...
what life it could be to be
with the person God gave for me
In one
Two
or
Three
My life would turn with glee...
Because now I have the most wonderful person in my life
And
His
Name
is
RD
In one
Two
or
Three
My life would turn with glee...
Because now I have the most wonderful person in my life
And
His
Name
is
RD
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.
Mother to Son by Langston Hughes
