To My Motha'
Who gave me 3 brotha's
And to which I owe my creative streaks
Who taught me how to seek
Out the best in others
And what it means to really mother
Listening to me, time after time
Her sacrifices, uncounted, way more than a dime.
I owe you so much, how to explain
I am embarrassed for those teenage dramas--a pain!
You loved me with grace
I finally found my place
Alongside the rubies and pearls
(though I still wish I got your curls!)
To have a mother so faithful and true
All the goodness in me, I owe mostly to YOU!
I love you Mom!
*Sorry your gift & card will be late this year, again.

That's beautiful. I've never had the priviledge of meeting your mom in person, but I love her just the same. She seems like an extraordinary woman!
You are one very lucky girl.
I grew up totally wishing I had hair like yours! Thanks for the sweet gift of words ...I love it ( and you!) It is a privilege to be your mom...and your brotha's too. You brought all that goodness with you when you were born! Thanks for being so shiney!
