Heirlooms

I was raised by very wise females

That gave great advice about men

It just didn’t register way back then

It would have gotten me out of trouble and safe under the shade

But it’s ok… I learned from the mistakes that I made

My mom said you don’t need men to survive

You just need to embrace yourself and love every moment you’re alive

My loving aunt, her darling sister taught me to always have an ace

So when your man cheats on you...

You can leave and laugh in his face

My mentor who helped me realize my passions and what I want to be

Told me that men are just boys...

That have to be dealt with firmly

Then there’s my cousin...

My own personal psychologist

Who gave me the sacred rules of how I’m supposed to resist

Finally, my dearest grandma…

She always said to just collect and collect

Then when the time seems right, that’s when you select

How can I go wrong with the advice that they have given me?

It came from three generations of women...

That just want me to be happy
