Dedication to All Mothers

Pardon my tears on this one. I know this is not mother’s day but I want to dedicate this to all the mothers. They sacrifice so much for us that we sometimes take it for granted. A lot of them are raising kids by themselves and still standing strong. I know some of you may not be close with your mother but please realize a mother will ALWAYS have a connection with her child no matter the circumstance. And I know sometimes she can be a little worrisome, but trust me when I tell you there is NO love like the love from a mother. For those of you who have lost your mother like I did, just patiently wait for the day you can finally reunite with her. Today, I want you to just tell them you love them, hug them, and kiss them because trust me before you know it they may not be here. Please do something I did not get a chance to do.

First off I want to thank you,
For loving me undeniably even through the pain I caused you.
You put your life on the line to have me,
You sacrificed almost everything because you always wanted the best for me.
When you held me it was like a touch I never felt,
When I got out of line you made sure I felt that belt.
As a kid you used to tell me I would be great,
Every time I needed you, you were always on time and never late.
When I would cry, I reached to you for help,
And you always put me first even before yourself.
When I was being silly and telling those lies,
It really hurt you and I could tell when I looked into your eyes.
You taught me how to treat a lady,
But you told me no matter who I dated I was always your baby.
You knew it was hard being a black man,
But whenever I would begin to slip you would grab my hand.
When times got hard, you would hug me and tell me everything will be okay,
And I knew we would be because every night I saw you pray.
I still remember the call and your last words were you loved me,
You always remembered to tell me that, and that’s why you will forever be my #1 lady.
