Mami, I wish I didnt have to wait years to say
Thank You for everything you’re doing today
The life you've made, and the price you've paid
That you did not evade, even when you were afraid
A Sacrifice I wont ever truly know, until I have my own,
Your Love so strong I wont fathom till I am grown
I will always be amazed, when I gaze back, then praise,
The way you always sheltered and protected over me,
while so young and pretty, you had to want to just be free
to be, to see
the many things you couldn’t, because for you there was no 'me',
just we.
I thank you for enduring,
where many a mothers could not, or would not,
even though you might not have had alot, you never forgot
Your duty as my mother,
and rather than doing things other, or with another,
you choose to smother
me with your Love.
Now I rest and live under your care, and think nothing each and every day
Shielded in every way, needing your comfort through each dismay
Never knowing the tears, the fears,
or any of your unanswered prayers
Im sorry for you having to grow up too soon,
when you could have been reaching up for the moon
All those afternoons
where pretty girls could focus on boys and their own fun
you sometimes had no one, because you begun
the sacrifice too young, and Ill learn how it stung some.
but you done good mami, I will always be proud you never succumbed
Admirable, the mother youve become
Those nights, you might have just wanted someone
to protect over and comfort you
just the way, for me, mami, you always seem to do
Where I sleep in the comfort that is your love
right next to someone I am, will always be in awe of.
I am so sorry that guys couldnt see,
past your amazing beauty,
and I promise that will never be me.
From you I will learn to be a man for his woman,
do all I can, to help her understand,
what Love is meant to be, because you will teach me.
Im sad,
cause I know you cried
because even though you tried
it had to be the hardest ride
that never ends, always bends, tough when I always depend,
on mami, my best friend
and Right now, I cannot truly comprehend
So next time, mami you recieve my hug,
know its filled with all the love
I will ever have for the most precious woman I can think of

I just might learn one day how hard it was for you to do,
until then, cant speak it yet, but know, I am so very proud of you
You'll always be my hero mami, for everything you had to go through
Most importantly, you went it alone, even when you ended up with two!
Ill never truly understand the Beauty of the Word, until Im fully grown
One day,
it will be to me,
the Most Beautiful Word
I’ll have ever known
~ ~ Mother ~ ~
