Mama.
Mama.
Mama were you scared?
Facing the world, just you and your girl?
Mama did you know, I know?
I know of the story, which has gone untold for so long.
The love story that is you and I.
I know you had a choice, and you chose me.
It wasn’t merely a choice of allowing me to breathe.
It was a choice of allowing me to live.
Mama did you doubt that you could do it?
Sometimes I get scared, but then I remember:
You.
Sacrifice has run through your veins
All my twenty six years
Mama did you know?
I know.
Mama did you know
There’s no one else in this world I respect more?
That if I were only one hundredth of the woman you are
I would be blessed.
Oh how you are engraved in my heart.
Mama, now you know.
