NINE MONTHS! SIXTEEN YEARS!


She cried, she almost died

That woman, my mom

That early morning sickness

That kicking that won't stop

It hurts, still she endured

That woman, my mom

 

Nine months, I stayed

In that woman I laid

Still she didn't put me away

That woman, my mom

 

Where will I be without her

She's sick when I am

She goes hungry for me to eat

Tht woman, my mom

 

She beats me, she pets, me

She cries when I cry,

A mama bear, none I've ever seen

Tht woman, my mom

 

I doubt I can live without her

Doubt I can be where she isn't

The most important thing in my life

That woman, my mom
