Mother O' Mother

Mother O' Mother

Mother o’ Mother who had impacted her

Daughter’s life

Mother o’ mother who was born an un-wealthy family

A family of 6 in a small clustered household

Had a handful of dreams for her future

Twin of Einstein

The child of God who did everything perfect

Her childhood was destroyed when God had gained

a new angel

Mother o’ Mother had to take care of all siblings

Hopped to one house to another trying to

Keep the family together while father worked

Dropped out of school only at the age of 10

Wore the mother shoes from there on

Mother o’ Mother who then found the love of her life

A beautiful rock was place on her delicate finger

Moved out and started her own life

Walked eternity just to cross the border

California had welcomed her and her husband

Like stray dogs an elderly woman acquired the two lovers

Took them in and took care for them providing

Them with everything including love

Months flew by and realized she was baking

A sweet dessert

Family celebrated with happiness

Lovely soft pink in the room

The time came and everyone welcomed her to the world

Mother o’ Mother made sure she was always

Like a rose

Sacrificed her sleeping to make sure

She had everything and to make her smile

Years and years had elapsed and came to a conclusion

To move to a blazing, dusty state

Full of no life

Dilemma had tagged along them stressing mother the most

A warrior that fought through everything keeping

Her family going and kept marching ahead

not looking over their shoulders

Mother o’ Mother whos daughter would follow

her footsteps

As she became older she realized as to why

Mother did the things she was doing

Opened up her eyes and inspired her

Mother o’ Mother who had impacted her

Daughter’s life
