Poem

march fourth twenty-nineteen

She said she's the doorway
for everyone to pass through
She said when you know your purpose,
you do what you're born to do

Just ask yourself, what's really stopping you?

No apathy
only focus
on what has to be
Positivity,
not what broke us

and on what matters most
Which of isn't the typical toast
Dig deeper, think
Push far, the brink

I don't know how she knew
And man did I try and argue

But she carried on steady,
all the while knowing
Which way my wind
was steadily blowing

She worked so hard
so that I would be ready
To take center stage
Mom life, getting married

And I notice it now
In all of the small things
I say to my kids and how
Much joy that it brings

I'm so thankful that she is a part of my life
Still building me up, it's in her design
She knows what to say to build us strong
To help us lead, and to carry on

And when I listen,
oh the things she teaches
Sometimes I know I'm trippin
But positivity, she preaches

She puts little things deep in my soul
That take my mind forever to unfold
Sometimes it's not so hard
But I love when it is and she's my lifeguard

Man am I thankful for all that she gave
With out her I don't think I'd be so okay
And with out a doubt
She continues to amaze me each day.
