My Heroine

My mom has always been my “Heroine” Even though I act like she isn’t sometimes Because she’s always been the rock that I could lean on And that’s good because I’ve been through valleys Valleys with unimaginable odds which have knocked me down But each time that I’ve fallen she’s been there to help me up.
She has always been there with words of encouragement Which is good because I’ve been through my share of tough times And one of the toughest times that I’ve had to face was school Because I can remember that I use to shed a lot of tears over that I also thought about quitting but she kept encouraging me not to But I’m glad that she did because now I feel a sense of pride.
That’s not all that makes her so special to me It’s because I know she must get her strength from God To handle everything that she does because her plate is full And then we don’t always see eye to eye with everything But she still gives me her love even when I’m unlovable Now that’s why I can say that my mom’s my “heroine.”
