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.
