She...

in #poetry6 years ago

It's a birthday wish...


She
The first woman I knew
The strongest woman I know
She can be my best ally
She can be the reason I scratch my head

She
My father's girlfriend
The one he married
The mother of his children
The one he left behind prematurely as a widow

She
Who understands me
Who understands all her children
Who sees what many overlook yet stays silent

She
Who turned 60
Who still celebrates
Who looks nothing like what she's been through

She
My mother
My prayerful mother
The grandmother to my future children
The woman who taught me strength

Happy 60th birthday Mama. I love you
