You are more than just mother to me
You are my mirror
I see you for your mistakes
I see you for your dreams
Both realized and unrealized
I see you for the woman you are
I see you for the woman you inspire me to be
You are spiritual guide, creative inspiration
And ,Driving force
You are motivator, listening ear, and nonjudgmental spectator
You are my introduction to hip hop
You are the reason I love Black 90s films
You are prayer warrior and peacekeeper
You are woman before womb
Friend before anything else
If I could do it all over again
I’d choose you every time
Because
Mother you are
