No Woman Nuh Cry

I look at my mother and I see the woman I want to be, bold, strong and courageous. 

She did it on her own, no man in sight to take care of her and her two children … She worked day and night to put food on the table.  She never gave up when the times got rough she called to her God and pray for redemption.

When Marley say… no woman nuh cry… that’s my mother he spoke of …she’s bold, strong and courageous.

She walks tall with grace and determination. She always told us, we can achieve it, if we only believe it. Focus on where you are going don’t look at what others are doing …we all have our own weakness and strength…you will make it, just believe it.      

My bold, strong and courageous… mom
