Real Love


Dear momma

Thank you for giving me Real Love

The kind of love where

I feel safe enough

To be myself and shine

Real Love

Even though I disobey

Real Love

The kind of love where

I can do anything I put my mind to

Real Love

Even though I am stubborn

Real Love

Where you want me to go to college

Real Love

Where I know you love my baby brother as much as you love me

Even though he was born premature

Even though he almost killed you

Even though you had cancer

Even though you died

Even though you are dead

Your Real Love

Made me love

As real as your love
