For Our Mamas, Beside Us




Mamas.....
The heroines of the world
They birth
us
They nurse
us
Sometimes coerce
us
But, always for the higher
good of
us

Chance that we are
thrown together?
Nope, that's a reality
never
known
We are sparked to life
within
the womb
We are meant to know as
our first
room

No posters on the walls
proclaiming
Our favorite band or
our recent crush
Just a safe cradle of
flesh flush
with the blood coursing
between us
She does not care if we rock
a vagina or a
penis!

Cause she loves us no matter
what we are
She loved us before time
from afar
And she will hold us close
to her chest
Always, because our moms know
us best
They know when to hold tight and
when to let go
And when to utter a perfectly placed
"I told ya so"

No matter which space your mama
occupies today
Let her know you love her
and you dig the
ways
She taught you to love
others
Thank the woman who is
your mother
For she made you with some help
from your dad
Let her know you get it
She will be so
glad
