Dear Birthgiver


Dear Birthgiver,

 

Since the beginning of time you made me feel I could do no crime

Your love makes me feels me feel like I will live till the end of time

Its true momma your love is is within me

I used to ask why you beat me

To discipline me was your answer

Your laugh would spread through my body like cancer

My anger as a kid was infectious

But your smile was contagious

As a kid you told me to be courageous

Dear Birthgiver

 

A cheerleader and a champion

A best-friend and companion

Love was Persistent

My personal Assistant

I’ll buy you a purse

For being my nurse

Without you in my life, life would be a curse

First one to buy me a glove

Taught me tough love

Dear Birthgiver

 

Dear Birthgiver

There’s nothing I can give you to pay you back

You are my sanctuary,

My tree of wisdom,

My testimony,

My heart  

You are more than my mom

Your are my spirit

And my guardian angel on earth

Everyone has to die but you won’t cause you already live through me

Dear Birthgiver
