I Will Go to War for You – Poetry by Gaptoothdiva

They will try to take my smiles, thinking my love is in my shoes
Never realizing barefoot I’d walk miles to keep them from you
My value is not in clothes, although I’ve been blessed
Cause without you by my side, who gives a damn how I dress
I’ll take whomever wants it just to please your soul
I’ll go to war wherever I’m needed before I let you go
Other mothers may love their seeds, but never let them grow
Everyday with you is a different scene & and a whole ‘other show
God said, watch him Diva – this one I trust to you
An Angel here on earth I blessed just for you
But in turn you must go hard regardless of what they say
Turn blind eyes & deaf ears on whomever is in your way
I said I got this Lord, strapped & ready to go
What’s in store for your life, truthfully… I really don’t know
But I’ve died and came back so that you won’t
Have to rely on a world that will treat you so cold
I’ll go to war for you, this I’m not ashamed
I gave you my heart, my smile, and more than just a name
The world may try to stop me, try to be a broken link in my chain
But no love could match the love I have for my son, no love is the same.
I will go to war for you
