MY MOTHER

UR VOICE STILL RINGS IN MY EARS

REMINDING ME OF ALL THOSE YEARS 

THAT YOU TOOK CARE OF ALL MY NIGHTMARE FEARS

NOT ONLY THAT YOU PULLED MY EARS WITH THE DEVILRY OF MY EARLY YEARS

ONLY NEXT TO THE NOBLEST U ARE,

ALL THE DREAMS I DREAMED, AND THOSE I STILL DO,

 I, A JUVENILE COULDN'T HAVE DONE ALONE,

UR LIGHT GUIDED ME THRU,

 UR ABSENCE IN AN EPOCH OF MY JOURNEY THRU THIS PARKY PATH WAS INDEED DIMINUTIVE

BUT YOUR WORDS, ETCHED IN MY MEMORY, FEATHERED MY WINGS EVERY TIME THE WEAKENED PAIR TIRED IN MID FLIGHT,

ALL THE FLOWERS U PLANTED, THE HOPE, THE FAITH, HAVE BEEN WARMED BY UR SUN, UR VOICE, THTS DEEP WITHIN ME,

AS TIME GOES BY I ONLY WONDER, WILL THOSE FLOWERS WILT AND DIE WHEN U’RE NOT HERE, WILL THERE BE ANYTHING LEFT FOR ME,

BUT HERE'S IT IS MA, U ALWAYS SAID THERE'S ALWAYS SUMN WORTH FIGHTING FOR, 

I HAVE LEARNED, SOME, IF NT ALL THE INSTRUMENTS ON MY JOURNEY,

IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT WHATS WRITTEN ON THE PAGES, THERES MUCH MORE...

AND WHENEVER I LOOSE MYSELF, THIS IS WHAT I REMEMBER,

I KICKED YOUR WOMB AND CAUSED YOU PAIN,

U WEPT, AND BEGGED BUT YET I CAME,

TO THIS WORLD OF SHAME, SORROW AND DECEIT,

WITH NTHN TO REPAY FOR THE LOVE U SHOWED,

I ONLY CAN RECIPROCATE IN KIND,

PRAYERS I’LL GIVE TILL THE END OF TIME,
