When you were born

She covered you with bows

Stayed up all night with you while you cried

And doused you with her kisses

You would never let her go. That’s my Nurture.

When you were a toddler

She got your cloths ready for school

Cooked a healthy breakfast

And told you that you can be anything you wanted to be and sent you off to school

You never got treated like a big girl but that’s my motivator

When you became a teenager

She attended every cheer competition and recital there was

Helped you study for that huge math test

And helped you with every college application there was

You told her you can handle it but that’s your main support

When you were growing into a young adult

She made sure all her morals were imprinted in you

Taught you how a lady is suppose to act

And told you that you were special and you didn’t need a boy to tell you so

You didn’t understand completely but that’s your backbone

                Now you’re an adult

Doing things on your own

She tries to find ways to still be that nurture, motivator, and that huge supporter

Yet you still try to impress her and say I got this

                In the end you didn’t. Those pumps aren’t easy to walk in

When fell flat on your butt, she helped you up

Dusted you off and gave you some wedges

You thought she was just trying to baby you but you know she will never steer you wrong

You looked at her and smiled. That’s my mama
