Hi Ma, it’s me
I miss you so much today
But fortunately for me
It’s in a good way

I’ve been truly blessed
I’ve been put in a place
I constantly hear your voice
I constantly see your face

I actually get paid 
To do what you taught me to do
I get blessings everyday
All because of you

I’m surrounded by wonderful women
Beautiful, strong, and proud
Peaceful as a spring morning
Willing and ready to get loud

Demanding yet supportive
Striving to raise their kids
Working, cooking, and cleaning
All the things you did

Of course they’re not you
But I see you in every one
I hope you look down in pride
At your devoted son

Gladys Lee Reaves’ Son,
