Brave Heart
My mother taught me to cry
she said pain is not something to deny
My mother taught me to forgive
because you move on in order to live
My mother taught me to love
you give all so you can get more of
My mother taught me to laugh
it brings out your better half
My mother taught me to fight
to fix my wrong with a right
My mother taught me to care
even as the odds are unfair
my mother taught to be brave,
and live my art, because
brave wouldn't be brave without a heart.
Dedicated to: Betty Brave Heart
