Mama's Wisdom

You won't hear me until I'm dead and gone.

I've been your age, you've never been mine.

The "Don't Try Me" face, a crown of wisdom flows from your mane.

Your encouragement to branch out, love harder, forgive more

Instilling in your children the ways of God not man.

Loving unconditionally in spite of ourselves.

Your ability to see beyond a smile and deep down into one's soul

The epitome of grace, the essence of love you show complete strangers

Mama's Wisdom came from learning and growing

I hope to get there someday.
