The fertile Earth that conceived me
A seed was birthed cause it needed to be
Spawn a BLACK MALE who was relieved surely
To grow into a mighty manifestation
Supplied with love & affection
I am loved so therefore I show appreciation
By maintaining my self positivity
You feed, I eat
You taught, I learned
You worried, I was concerned
You clothed, I was warmed
You cried, I was burnt
It’s because of you, I tried
To see the joy in those mothering eyes
Even the beatings fortified me
Kept me in track surely
My one constant factor
My one never changing element
A flower with no equal
A saga with no sequel
Sweeter than a honey BEE
Sweeter love to love
For you are MY MOTHER
MY EARTH, MY GROUNDS
MY GENESIS, MY ALPHA
MY FIRST HOME, MY ANCHOR
Never perceive that you have failed
Success as a mother, your wonderful tale
For your blessed legacy
Is your son, ME
