Understanding

I never understood why you were so strict I never understood what tough love meant Until the day God called you home and I had to stand on my own two feet, it's been ten years since I've felt your warm arms around my body or you telling me to get myself together because you won't be here forever boy did I think you were playing I never thought that you would actually not be here with me I miss you more and more everyday, missing all the words of encouragement that you use to give me day after day I know now momma you only wanted the best for me,I was just trying to grow too fast and being dumb to see, when you told me understand me know because when I'm gone I won't be able to hear your I'm sorry while I'm laying on the ground My heart hurt so bad everyday but I know I'll see you again someday until then I wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY I'll celebrate your day until our father come to reunite us one day
