Poem Title:
Poem
My mothers name is Doris She a fine woman indeed She was the best momma to us kids And still helped those in need She taught us kids so much Like what's wrong and what is right She took such good care of us Through each day and through each night. I'm blessed to call her momma She's inspired me my whole life To have such a strong woman around To teach me to be a mom and a wife. She was born three months premature On a cold January night in '29 On the Rez where she was born In a shoebox she spent her first night Unsure if she'd make it through that night Her parents did the best they knew To keep her alive and well until The Doctor made is monthly trip through The doctor said she'd die young And never be a mother But yet she raised 12 kids Raised them better than any other Many birthdays came and went for her She is living life the best way she can She's showed so much love in her life She showed me how to love my man. She's been through so much in life And yet here she still stands So much stronger than I could imagine She's created so much with her hands She's lived such an amazing life This past January, she turned 91 She's inspired me oh so much She's helped me with the loss of my son. She inspires me so much each day Everything that she's overcome The death of two husbands, 7 daughters and 3 sons. She has so much strength How she does it I can't even guess And as far as Mommas go, Im blessed to have the one that's the best. 2/17/2020
