The day you

The day I met you, I was I know I would be forever safe

You raised me from birth in love

Taught me right from wrong

Made me laugh when I didn't want to

Showed me hard work and told me not to stray from it

Told me that I was my name, embrace all of me

And I did as I was told. I did.

Surrounded me with family

Adversity. Wealth. Lessons. Life

Told me have a back bone and never take care of no man

Allow the man to be my equal and take care of each other

Make him respect and earn my love. 

Education comes first. Career and family co-exist.

Then you left me, 

God needed you more. 

But the pain of you not there still ails me

I miss your prescene but I honor your memories

The day you help to create me

That's all I can say

Thank you for life

And that's about it

You made me strong

Because you weren't there

The lessons you taught, you taught me well

Never find a man anything like you

And to know looks or only skin deep

But personality is what carries me

My brain and manners will take me far

You made me read through those lines

The ones you never drew

I asked one thing of you

You didn't come through

You left me.

But don't know where you are.

God accept those with faults

Long as you gave him the keys to the vault

Did you...did you?

Once, You saw a picture of my son

And claimed him as your blood

At least he got that much

The blood may be in his veins, but you mannerisms never will be

The day I met you, you were so worrisome

You worried yourself right into my heart

You got on my last nerve

And when you wasn't around, wondered where you were

You asked for my hand in marriage after years of us

Then you gave me the greatest gift of all...our Son

We started from the bottom 

And on our way to the top

The top of our mountain

The one built on our foundation

We go hard for each other

We walk beside each other

We love with no condition

You are strong and allow me to be strong

You allow me to have my wrongs

While you have yours

And we love our rights so much more

You stand with me

To this day

And forever more

The day my Blessing looked at me

So small and precious I received

Inlove with you was not strong enough

Thank God every day for you, my Son

From day one, you tired to talk to me

Now you talk to me

Never forgetting the day, you actually called me Mommie

I have so many dreams about your life

And all you will accomplish

But I let you make your choices

You will not disappoint me

We are so close, my little best friend

I love you with all of me

To the men in my life 

Giving me my experiences 

I thank God for each and every one of them

Joya
