Dear Mama,

How does it feel to be you?

There are times, like, yesterday
when I listen to you, just chattering away
sounding so happy, and I know you got
a bunch of heavy-sevy stuff going on…

Being a mother ain’t easy
I’ve found that out…. I understand
now what you mean when you
say you need your quiet time…

I used to be jealous of that space
I used to be mad at you for any time
to took away from me…

It’s hard being one of the ones you
love, I knew you’d be thinking about
important things but I used to wonder
what was going on inside your mind
during “quiet time”

You have a way of shutting your door
and locking it without leaving the room
I’d sometimes watch you when you
didn't know it, your face would always
look so incredible…you’d be in another place
It was like, if I opened up your mental
right at that moment I would blush at what I’d find
….out…

Tell me what you know, Mama…

How does it feel to be in love? To BE love?
There are times, like today, when I look
at how I’ve come to where I am
feeling less than successful right now (at the pity
party all by myself)… on the one hand knowing
I couldn’t have made it this far without your help…
on the other hand, knowing that there’s more
because you said there is and I see there is
because you show me there is and I wonder if I'm
woman enough to ever really know it first hand like you do…

Will my big and little guys love me as much as yours love you?

I almost didn’t send this letter,
but since I type way better than I write ….
you’ll read between my lines and feel what I’m trying to say

I want to know what you know good Mama, It’s kinda crucial
that I do…

Love always,

SWT
