Parenting while black

I have been thinking about the visioning black parents have to do for our children. Speaking light and love and success into their futures. We have to. There is enough to worry us. Enough for sure. I find myself consciously affirming:
I see Uraeus healthy
I see Uraeus happy
I see Uraeus successful
I see Uraeus as an adult
I see Uraeus graduating from high school
I see Uraeus continuing his life
I see Uraeus as a man
I see Uraeus in love
I see Uraeus working
I see Uraeus as a responsible adult
I see Uraeus as a creative and unique expression of God

and so on.
