MAMA YOU GAVE ME
Mama you gave life and a chance to live.
Not to mention the love, you willfully wanted to give.
Mama you gave me the nourishment's to help me grow,
and become who I was meant to be.
Not someone standing on a corner collecting a,
“what’s your pleasure “fee”.
Mama you gave me the necessary tools
for survival, like the lioness waiting for her cubs,
welcome to the world, arrival.
Mama you gave me the insight of your trials
and tribulations. Which taught me, that I must
put in my share of contribulations.
Mama you gave me the meaning of directions,
so that I can travel my path of independence
to make my own journey of corrections.
Mama you gave me the strength to be strong,
and the knowledge and wisdom to know,
what's right and wrong. Mama you gave me support,
guidance and so much more. Now I understand,
the lioness who taught her baby cubs, how to roar.
I thank God, my Mom allowed me to become who
I wanted to be, because her wisdom gave me inspiration
to keep writing and speaking the words.
