Mama

Growing up you were a rock. You raised us all the best you could Never showing weakness Never thinking you should. But I remember Mama I remember seeing your tears Not sure if it was pain or frustration Or just out of fear. Cancer has entered your life A breast it will claim But Mama you’re still a woman Don’t hang your head in shame. It will take time to heal That’s always what they say And I know you’re so scared So today I kneeled to pray. I asked Him To give you the strength To see beyond what is. To give you peace And know that you are And will always be loved. I asked Him to hold you In His arms To wipe away your tears That you still do not want To show your children. And I asked Him To give you faith That you will heal Not only physically But emotionally as well. We are your rocks now Its your time to rest You’re staying with us Mama For that we are truly blessed 6/19/06
