Mommy

One summer day,

she gave her life away,

dedicating her life,

to nurture and raise.

My favorite word to say,

language that binds her to me,

I give her a name,

I call her Mommy.

Even when this life,

asks me to fight,

I never fight alone,

with her by my side.

& even when this world,

breaks and takes my heart,

she stays my Lion Queen,

says, "remember who you are."

So on this 10th of May,

I put to paper her name,

grateful for the day,

Mommy gave her life to me.
