“Motherhood”

 My mama’s got that love and care

Yeah, give em all appraisals

cause I know

there’s nothing your mom can’t handle 

even thou 

life’s a gamble, 

(Yeah...)

she do it again for

to have you in her hands more 

so each day, 

she keeps praying

for keepsake 

you ain’t gonna leave.

and hoped this be the day 

she wasn’t ever gonna see 

Now it’s only constant memories 

that keeps replaying, 

and that’s the part we can’t stand at all 

Been on our own

I mean... I suppose 

the apple doesn’t fall far from home. 

But still... 

you know 

we all gotta grow,

“Bigger in heart 

and more smarter & more responsible.”

                    (No, No)

it’s not impossible to think we could live forever 

cause never forget 

we have an endless love

that no one could measure 

and through the slopes 

still you never fold

in being the best for your kids 

and this is something I’ll forever miss

Awaken to the smell of breakfast, 

and good ole’ morning conversation sessions.

No empty seats, just true family connection, 

and this has been her life lesson 

to not lose sight in whatever direction

and to always reflect 

cause your cultures definitely a blessing.

An when you truest to yourself,

you’ll find it’s not what you expected

and when that respect is within. 

You’ll see that energy is really transcendent, 

so please understand, the madness to the method

that life’s not objective 

so just enjoy the ride,

for even when times are trying 

and you feel been declined

with the hand you’re dealt 

(Nope)

No matter the failure 

Just remember 

the snakes will always try and take from your pride & character.

I mean 

we can agree that life’s not fair,

and things

will always never appear to be clear,

but here it is...

Deep within,

something triggered 

and I can hear her whisper,

“Don’t be a quitter”

so now when I look in the mirror.

I know something’s there.

Yeah, that’s my mom’s spirit ❤️

“Oh, mama

I will stay with you 

I will pray for you 

You created me 

How could I just leave” 

especially when I feel indebted incredibly 

for all you’ve given me 

and if you ever feeling apart from.

Please, don’t let it eat at your heart, no 

Just dig yourself from that dark hole 

What’s that saying?, 

“If you really love something, 

you gotta let it go.” 

but each and every time, 

you already know 

that I’ll be headed home.

so set it in stone

to let your mom know 

that this love is really meant for...

moms 

who ain’t ever letting go.

Hoping one day I’ll be on that same exact pedestal. 

Seen as a reflection,

Heart of an Angel.

Yeah, give em all appraisals

cause I know

there’s nothing your mom can’t handle

and even thou 

life’s a gamble, 

(Yeah...)

she do it again for

to have you in her hands more 

cause she’ll 

give you whatever she can’t afford 

even thou she’s been handed poor 

but still 

she working

so you could flourish 

cause you 

that important

as she’s

reminded of that every morning 

And that’s straight facts.

I just don’t know 

how imma pay you back

but I’ll start with a poem 

and a sorry

that it took so long tell my story.

“I will stay with you 

I will pray for you 

You created me 

How could I just leave” 

especially when I feel indebted incredibly 

for all you’ve ever given me.

Yeah, mom has the magic

to be above average

cause if I was her 

I would of been done 

and about had it

but it’s the moments 

we do have 

and continue to tackle with a passion,

no matter what’s happening 

or what we done 

it’s the love in, “Us”

and the way

that you brought us up.

Now I owe it all

to a mothers love 

That’ll shape the man, father, parent, that I’ll become.

“Oh, I will stay with you

I will pray for you 

You created me

How could I just leave.” ❤️

Happy Birthday, Mom! 

Love always, your son
