Honestly

I hope your days are blessed
with beauty, bounty and belief
And everything that you hold dear
brings solace to your grief
I hope you find just enough joy
in every place you seek
Find faith in strength and clarity –
a friend in destiny

I wish for you the brightest days
and even brighter nights
May any battle’s gotten gains
be worthy of the fight
Wish you health and wealth and wisdom
in all your coming years
And any goal you set yourself
out-might your hidden fears

But, just a little nugget of advice
before you go
And take with you whatever
happiness I thought we’d know
Make no mistake – I’m not gon’ trip –
but listen carefully
I very highly suggest you not
say shit else to me

The bitch you thought I might have been
can’t hold a wet match to
The wrath that’s waiting for
whatever foolishness in queue
The bigger man you think you are
to turn on me today
Better have a backup plan,
or reinforcements on the way
