Mother's Day Tribute Day

Mother's Day Tribute Day

Now it’s time to say how I feel
Open the fountains of my heart, let it reveal,
Talking about a woman who knew me before I knew right,
Talking about the woman who aided God in giving me life,
You call her many things, but I call her Mom,
First woman I ever loved and showed me the world,
Carried me nine months like a diamond or pearl,
Being ever the perfectionist she couldn’t leave it at that,
Just the beginning was the teaching of a man on how to act,
Live the Life unto God, always the word
But showed by example, so I could observe,
Showing how to lead and yet how to follow,
Leaving a trail of excellence as a model,
Diva before diva was the word to describe her
Backbone of the Rock; my pops, more on him next month, to follow,
I’m not bragging or boasting just telling you how it is,
Her track record goes back long before I was a kid,
You we’re as hard as they come still showed the softest sides of love
You looked at God and took his example for yours from above,
And though it took me a while to receive the things you said,
I love you the more for not giving up, and leaving me for dead,
You deserve more than a Medal of Honor or Nobel Prize could behold,
The Greatest parts of who are have never been told,
All I have is the hope and love you gave shown in my eyes,
And to sing your praises, giving you your flowers while you thrive.
Love yah Mom,
