MY BURDEN

Momma! You were the one, that wouldn't let me go in the streets,
Took me to the dentist, cause I had way too many sweets,
Dentist filled my cavities, told you to hide my treats,
But I found a secret stash, after about a week.
I've cause you so much misery, and so much pain,
Caused so much agony, happiness down the drain.
Tried to do my best, but my best wasn't good enough,
I led you down a road, that I knew was rough.
All I can remember is, what type of woman you are,
How your bold spirit stands out, like the brightest star.
When things got rocky, and I was hard to get through,
God had told me, that I can always depend on you.
I've been blessed to have a mom, who cares so much,
Whose words comfort me, at the slightest touch.
A mother like that, can only come from above,
Words are never harsh, but is as soft as a mothers love.
I look at myself and cry, all that is left is despair,
Now you're older, and I'm stressed because I'm not there.
Asked God why, but this situation, made me a better man
Be there for my parents, my father who can barely sand.
Tears overflow my heart, having me feel remorse,
Where would I be today, if I'd taken another course?
Momma I thank you, for the woman you turned out to be,
Just the sound of your voice, removes the burdens within me.
