Poem
When I was a baby you took me in Hoping to give me your joy Because of what you didn’t get from within You gave me the best of the material things But what I needed most was your loving angel wings I wish we could have been the best of friends But instead of friends I became a dope fiend head You was there as best you could be Couldn’t understand what had such a stronghold over me In no way I blame you for my messed up past But after you died my heart became real sad I remember how you fussed, huffed and would fight In trying to bring your baby girl back right You would prayed, you cried asking God why, oh why? Can’t she see the pain and hurt in my eye? But you kept your faith and wouldn’t give up Knowing one day that God would take my dark cup I lost it the day that you passed But I thank God I was there at last Even for only a short minute I was by your side to give you your final salute Oh I wish you was still here to see All the values you had instilled into me You may be gone and I confess that after you left Again my life turned out into a big mess But now things have changed My life is no longer the same I pray that you have forgiven me For all the years I put you through so much misery You can smile now looking down from heaven I’m no longer acting like that child age of seven God is doing great and wonderful things Giving me peace, hope and joy that life brings I miss you Mama your wonderful tender touch I now appreciate the love that you give me so much! Humbly Submitted Your Daughter: Patricia Linda Gregory Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
